The Practical Astronomer

by Brian W. Jones

For those with stars in their eyes. The Starfinder includes a moveable star chart (match the sky to the chart and know what you're seeing) and 72 page guide book. The Practical Astronomer makes astronomy accessible to anyone. Learn what you can see with the naked eye and how to view more distant objects (planets, faraway galaxies) from your own backyard. Softcover, 256 pages, illustrated throughout. We regret the mini-flashlight and constellation cards are not part of the Starfinder 2010 edition, as advertised in our Holiday catalog. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause.
