Description
Setting a new standard for astronomy guides, this classic, groundbreaking guide will serve as the touchstone for the next generation of stargazers as well as longtime devotees. To reflect the latest information about observing techniques and equipment, this massively revised and expanded edition has been rebuilt from the ground up. New techniques for observing the Sun, the Moon and solar and lunar eclipses are an especially timely addition, given the upcoming solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024. Rounding out these impressive offerings are new sections on dark sky reserves, astro-tourism, modern astrophotography and cellphone astrophotography, making this book an enduring must-have guide for anyone looking to improve his or her astronomical viewing experience. The foreword is by Dr. Sara Seager, a Canadian-American astrophysicist and planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an internationally recognized expert in the search for exoplanets.
