By Robin Kerrod
This four-part introduction to star watching is the work of astronomer Robin Kerrod. It consists of a 'planisphere', two 128-page spiral-bound books and a torch, all packed into a sturdy case. The planisphere is two rotating discs fixed one above the other.
It shows the constellations at different times during each night of the year and is designed to work best at latitude 35° south.
Discover the Night Sky is a simple, practical introduction to astronomy for beginning enthusiasts. It contains lots of good reading, and the planisphere will help newcomers' orientation. Its readers will probably next find themselves investing in a decent telescope - and batteries for the torch.
