Description

The Night Sky Companion offers a guide to what can be explored on a nightly basis. Designed to appeal to readers at all skill levels and involvement, it provides a digest for sky watchers interested in all-in-one-place information that includes history, current events, and of course interesting objects to be observed on any given day. It provides unaided eye observers an opportunity to view many objects or events as well as learn about their history, science and how just "looking up" can be rewarding. Binocular and small telescope users will find a wealth of objects to view using simple star hop instructions and finder charts. Large-aperture telescope users looking for a challenge are not ignored either: some of the finest deep-sky objects are detailed, with finder maps and photographs, most of them taken by talented amateurs.
