Product Description
"Make the Stars Your Old Friends!" . . . with Mike Lynch, America’s Master Stargazing instructor
Mike has led stargazing classes for over 30 years and has instructed 1000s of would-be backyard astronomers (and maybe a few would-be professional astronomers!)
Now with "Oregon StarWatch" you can easily pick up what beginning and advanced stargazers ages 12 and up have learned in his popular stargazing classes.
-Use the detailed seasonal constellation charts to quickly identify their main stars and find "celestial goodies" such as star clusters, nebulae, and other galaxies.
-Enjoy the stories and mythology of characters for whom the constellations are named, including Orion the Hunter, Cassiopeia the Queen, and Perseus the Hero.
-Locate the most prominent seasonal constellations with easy-to-use monthly star maps designed especially for Oregon's northern latitude.
- Learn about the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, as well as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. There’s even a planet locator guide good through 2015!
-Gain firsthand advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment, plus find listings of local astronomy resources.
You won’t find a more enthusiastic guide to the night sky than Mike Lynch, and you won’t find a better guidebook to our night sky than "Oregon StarWatch."
