OverviewSee the best that the night sky has to offer. Is there anything more amazing than the night sky? You've seen the stars and the constellations-but there's so much more to discover! George Moromisato's guide introduces you to 101 sights, from old favorites like Saturn's famous rings to awe-inspiring wonders like the Andromeda Galaxy. Learn what to look for and when and where to find it! The sights are ranked by beauty, accessibility, and importance, and the guide features at least one full-color photograph for each entry, including many from NASA. As an added bonus, the author's astrophotography tips provide information about taking pictures of the night sky. This astronomy book is perfect for beginners, as many objects can be seen with the unaided eye or binoculars, while others simply require a small telescope.
