Synopsis

Identify constellations in the night sky with this pocket-size guide.


You can appreciate stars and enjoy stargazing! If you're curious about the night sky, then Constellation Finder by Dorcas S. Miller is just what you need. With the handy, easy-to-use booklet, you can identify constellations of the Northern Hemisphere.


Perfect for camping trips, the cabin, and the backyard, this booklet introduces 30 of the most important constellations to know. It begins by showing you how to locate constellations by working outward from the Big Dipper and Orion. Next, Dorcas offers tips for watching stars. Seasonal sky maps show which constellations are visible at different times of the year. Information about each featured constellation includes best viewing time, Greek mythology, constellations from many cultures--including Native American, African, and Asian--and star stories from around the world. Along the way, Dorcas's professional illustrations guide you to a positive identification of the various star patterns.


This guide is most useful for stargazing between the 30th and 50th parallels in the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, this includes the contiguous United States (except the Florida peninsula and southernmost Texas) and southern Canada.
