Collins Stars & Planets is jam-packed with monthly maps of the night sky, charts of all 88 constellations, data and notes on bright stars and objects of interest, an illustrated introduction to stars, nebulae, galaxies and the solar system, detailed moon maps and descriptions of the main lunar landmarks and advice on choosing and using binoculars and telescopes.
The night sky is one of the most beautiful sights in nature. Yet many people remain lost among the jostling crowd of stars, and are baffled by the changing appearance of the sky from hour to hour and season to season.
The charts and descriptions in Collins Stars & Planets will guide you to the most splendid celestial sights, some visible with the naked eye, many with a pair of binoculars and all accessible with an average-sized telescope of the type used by amateur astronomers
