Stargazing for Beginners
A part of camping is sitting beneath the dark sky and gazing up towards the heavens. The unfortunate truth is that most of us have no idea what we are looking at. This book will point out simple constellations and when and where to look for particular configurations.
The book comes with a map for each month so that you can see the position of the constellations from all directions. The book provides an easy way to understand the beauty that is high above you.
