The Observer's Year: 366 Nights in the Universe by CBE, DSc, FRAS, Sir Patrick Moore

That is why Patrick Moore has written this unique book to highlight special objects of interest on every night of the year. He talks about the history of the constellations, double stars, nebulae, the moon, planets, even the asteroids. Beginning January 1st, he works through the year night by night...
