Learning the Night Sky |
Learning the Night Sky with
Stargazer Paul Derrick presents a unique approach to learning the night sky.
Derrick divides the sky into nine regions, making the task of learning much
easer. He then uses stories and themes to help remember the constellations in
each region. Not only beginners will find this book interesting. Experienced
stargazers will also discover a new and fun connection with the constellations and the
beautiful objects they contain, as well
as useful information to help guide others. |

Start Keeping an Observing Log
 One thing that I have come to realize in regard to this hobby
that we love, is that I haven't always developed the good observing habits that
I should have. Foremost of the habits I "should have" developed is
the practice of keeping a log of my observations. This is one habit that I
now intend to develop, because of the huge benefit that this one thing could
have done for me as I become more advanced in amateur astronomy. Because I
taught myself this hobby from childhood and did not have a mentor to help, I
missed out on learning to use this fundamental tool. If I had kept a log all
these years, I would have had 35 years worth of notes on all of the objects that
I have looked at. What an asset this would have been for my efforts as president
of my club, and as contributor to its newsletter. When I write the
'Constellation Close-up' articles, how nice it would be to have such a logbook,
rather than just my memory, to rely on. And now that I am supposed to be the
"mentor," I find myself encouraging others to do something that I have
not done (but I am going to start doing). Therefore, I am going to get a copy of the Astronomer's
Journal and Observing Log to help me start doing just that. Please learn from my
mistakes, and don't end up years later regretting that you "should
have," like I do now. - DK
