Robin Kerrod's The Sky at Night is a fantastic kit that includes a planisphere, a red flashlight and two spiral bound books; Mapping the Sky and The Star Guide. Mapping the Sky has maps of major southern and northern constellations for each month of the year. The Star Guide is a concise but complete astronomy guide. Both books come with full color photographs and charts. The kit comes accomodated in a beautiful box so you can carry it everywhere. It is an ideal kit for your nightsky watching sessions. A great buy!

I am just beginning to pursue a life-long dream of becoming a backyard astronomer,and have found these books(there are two,each spiral-bound)to be an excellent introduction to the hobby.Easy for the novice to understand,and each book is beautifully presented.If you are thinking of taking up astronomy as a new interest,I think Mr.Kerrod has done a wonderful job. I'm sure you will find the set of books;planisphere;and flashlight a great beginning!

This kit is great for children and adults. My husband is enjoying it as much as our 12 year old. They dusted off the telescope for it's first use in a long time.

As people who are just trying to learn more about the stars, and the constellations, this is a great book. In conjumction with the other book we just bought, the Great Star Atlas, we are having a wonderful time.
