Alan M. MacRobert

Go with Sky & Telescope's Alan MacRobert on 14 star-hop safaris. Maneuver among recognizable star patterns in the Northern Hemisphere as you hunt down astronomical big game. Each star-hop includes a detailed map, object descriptions, and photos. Introductory chapters cover how to choose and use a backyard telescope, find your way around the sky, read star charts, and observe faint objects.
