"Planisphere and Starfinder" is your personal guide to exploring the night sky. It goes beyond the mystery of astronomy and introduces basic techniques for star observation, making it easier to find and recognize objects. Starting with our solar system, it shows how to observe the Moon, planets, comets, and asteroids, as well as how to take advantage of events such as eclipses and meteor showers. Then, you'll travel to constellations with a guide to the constellations. Each entry is accompanied by a clear star map, showing where you can see the constellation in the world and even explaining the symbolic significance of its star formation. The final section guides you month by month through the night sky so you don't miss a thing. The book also contains a detachable planisphere that you can take anywhere, showing the entire sky overhead, at any time of the night and any season of the year.
