The New Atlas of the Stars by Axel Mellinger
"The New Atlas of the Stars" is remarkably comprehensive. Astronomy buffs and sky watchers will find this abundantly illustrated reference book useful anywhere in the world. The atlas is arranged so that one section of the sky is shown and described on each double-page spread. The sky is divided into individual sections, with 30 charts covering the whole sky. Each chart has an acetate overlay depicting the names of the important stars. The topics include: stars and constellations, historical star charts, the motion of the heavens, star trails, the Milky Way, the Northern hemisphere, equatorial skies, and the Southern hemisphere. The book also covers basic astrophotography and digital imaging and provides practical and useful viewing tips. It is the successor to the "Great Atlas of the Stars" (1-55209-610-6). It includes 30 full page, full colour photographic charts with explanatory overlays, plus other colour photographs.| SKU | Unavailable |
