The books below are often used
by people starting off with stargazing. Collins Gem Night Sky
is a pocket
guide (physically a small book), one you can hold with one hand while you can
use your telescope. It comes highly recommended and is an essential part of any starting or
experienced astronomers book collection. The Cambridge Star Atlas and Nortons Star Atlas
are both
detailed A4 sized star
atlases, both of these books are quiet similar.
They both show the entire sky in detail, every naked eye star, variable and
multiple stars. NGC/IC starclusters, nebulae and galaxies, everything you'd expect to see in small to medium sized
telescopes. |
