Astronomy Books & Charts

Books can be an invaluable resource when you’re looking to discover something new to observe in the night sky, and a good quality star chart will help you find it! Whether you want to explore the Moon, track down previously unseen deep sky objects or simply want to see what’s in the sky throughout the year, a good guide can help you to make the most of your observing experience.

A planisphere is a great tool for learning to identify the constellations or for a quick at-a-glance look at the night sky for any given date. The David Levy 16" Planisphere for 30-60 Degrees North can be used through much of the northern hemisphere and features black stars on a white background, making it easier to see in the dark.
