About
The Astronomical Calendar
by Guy Ottewell
The Astronomical Calendar 2006
is for both beginning and advanced astronomers. There is a lot of
information packed into this book, and even beginners will soon find
that they will depend on this information themselves as they use this
book to explore the night sky.
With the Astronomical Calendar
2006, you can learn the constellations on a month by month basis by concentrating
on the sky map for the present month. Each map represents the
whole of the sky that you can see, at the convenient time for viewing in
the evening.
During each month, learn the two or
three constellations that are near the middle of the map. Hints towards
remembering the constellations are given in the "Constellation
Clues" provided with each map.
By using this Calendar
intermittently throughout the year, you will have harnessed the seasons
to give yourself a rather effortless and comprehensive course in
astronomy.
