Nightwatch: An Equinox Guide to Viewing the Universe Dazzled by the night sky, man has always stood in awe of the cosmos & its seemingly unfathomable display of heavenly objects & phenomena. Equinox magazine writer & former professional planetarium astronomer Dickinson provides readers with a new, totally nonmathematical, "ultra-simplified" method of identifying stars, planets, constellations & nebulas in the ever-changing display that has fascinated stargazers for millennia. A lifetime reference for all amateur stargazers. Includes chapters on photographing the night sky & on resources, such as publications, slides, amateur astronomy clubs, planetariums, & observatories. |
