The Monthly Sky Guide A user-friendly companion for stargazers of all ages, this classic beginner’s guide describes all the main sights of the night sky. How to look at the stars and planets The monthly star charts in this book are designed to be used for stargazing with the naked eye. With these charts, you will be able to identify the stars and constellations visible on any night of the year. To see even more, a modest pair of binoculars collect will more light than the naked eye does, and can be a helpful starting instrument for any would-be stargazer. How can we judge whether a particular constellation covers a large or small area of sky? The width of a fist held at arm’s length makes a convenient distance indicator, about 7° wide. As a guide to scale, each of the constellation maps in this book carries an outline of a fist for comparison. If your hand is unusually big or small the comparison will not be exact, but it will still be a useful guide to the size of the constellation you are looking for.
