Now in our tenth year
Welcome!
Here you'll find:
You can obtain your own printed copy of The Constellations Web Page -- The Constellations Pocket Guide
Now in two versions, the traditional ‘desk’ edition (pictured here) or the special ‘Field Edition’, spiral bound for outdoor use.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we promise that each order will be filled the same day it is received and that orders received weekdays before two p.m. ET will be shipped the same day.
The Binocular (and Naked Eye) Tour of the Stars.
You'll find how to locate any of the current season's constellations, learning how to find the principal stars with the naked eye.
Those with binoculars are taught how to find many interesting objects suitable for binocular study, such as star clusters or wide binaries.
The tour features over 300 views as seen through binoculars, so you know you're looking at the right object.
