Collins guide to the night sky - Mark R. Chartrand

The only photographic field guide you can use in the wild

Collins Wildlife Trust Guides are the first field guides illustrated with photographs that can be used to identify what you can see in the night sky. Every constellation is comprehensively illustrated with specially chosen photographs and artwork, so that no matter what part of the night sky you are looking at there is a photograph and diagram to help.

The text also covers every detail that you will need to confirm the identification, plus information on the specific constellation. There is also a section on the Solar System, with details on all the planets and a guide to all the major forthcoming astronomical events, such as the eclipse of the sun in 1999.

Published in association with the Wildlife Trusts, who have over 250,000 members in the UK, these are the field guides for the new millenium.
