Synopsis

This book provides a valuable learning tool to facilitate identifying patterns and stars in the sky. It reflects a new aspect of astronomy that does not involve serious science - but makes it easy to learn about the night sky.

In most cases, the minimum equipment needed for observing these is just binoculars, or at most a low-power telescope. This catalog includes star pictures, dot-to-dot outlines of the objects (on a negative photograph for clarity), and an artistic image next to the star patterns. Size, stellar magnitudes, and coordinates are provided, along with north direction, star-hopping instructions and Sky Atlas 2000 references. With the help of this book, the imaginative observer will soon begin to develop a new insight into star patterns, and will start seeing patterns of their own.
