Astro-Pack

by Robin Scagell

Astro-Pack contains all the information needed to start the fascinating hobby of astronomy. The Night Sky through your Telescope shows how to set up and use any telescope, how to use a planisphere and star charts, what to see, how to photograph the heavens, and a guide to useful accessories. The Star Finder shows the planets, stars, and constellations in the northern hemisphere visible month-by-month. The planisphere is a practical hour-by-hour tracker of the constellations in a format big enough to use anywhere in the United States. The 3-map large-scale Star Chart and over 1400 photographs and drawings gives maximum detail on what is observable and can be used anywhere in the world.
