Monthly Stargazing Guide

[Cosmic Geoff]

I picked up a copy of Philips' "2020 Stargazing month by month guide to the Night Sky" by Couper & Henbest at a discount & remainder store for £3 (reduced from £6.99)

It looks like a handy little book, especially for novices, and contains a sky map for each month, monthly objects of interest as well as a listing of the year's special events (conjunctions, etc) and a guide to astrophotography.

It's come to something when such a book is so heavily discounted even before the period for which it is relevant

www.binocularsky.com publishes a monthly star map online. OK it is for binoculars but Steve Tonkin often has some challenging targets.

The Phillips one can be used year on year if you ignore the planetary and Lunar info... 😉

Astronomy Now also publishes a yearbook which is not bad.

On Amazon.uk for £3.00 - surprising.
