From the publisher’s promo: “To absorb the beauty of the night sky, with its count-less stars, softly glowing nebulas, and remote galaxies, all you need is a good pair of binoculars and this guide. In Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars Patrick Moore describes how to explore the stars, the constellations, the seasonal changes of the sky, the Moon and comets, without buying an expensive telescope. This guide is therefore an ideal start to conducting a personal tour of the universe and its contents.

Seasonal star charts are provided so that stargazers can quickly locate the prominent constellations visible on any evening, from any location on Earth, and at any date. Every constellation in the northern and southern sky is described as it appears through binoculars, together with a map showing the interesting objects within it.

In this new edition the opportunity has been taken to bring all the information right up to date, and to include advice on how to choose a telescope as the next stage in enjoying the astronomy of the night sky. . “
