101 objects to see in the night sky / Robin Scagell. by Scagell, Robin, author. Buffalo, New York : Firefly Books, 2014. Subjects Astronomy -- Observers' manuals.   Astronomy -- Amateurs' manuals. ISBN:  9781770853003 (pbk.) : 1770853006 (pbk.) Description:  224 pages : color illustrations, color maps ; 21 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  The perfect starter astronomy guide to night viewing. 101 Objects to See in the Night Sky is a fun and practical guide to identifying and observing 101 of the most fascinating and exciting sights in the northern night sky. Designed for newcomers to astronomy, the book explains what can be seen using the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. In the book, professional astronomer Robin Scagell shows the novice astronomer where to look in the sky to see a particular object, or group of objects or sights. They may be a planet, its rings or satellites, a series of lunar craters, a constellation, asteroids, meteors, a nebula, galaxy or star cluster, for example. He describes the object in detail and gives observing tips to improve viewing skills. Informative "Where to find it" instructions and "What you'll see" explanations for each object give night sky viewers an extra hand. A concise "fact file" is provided for each object, and readers can award themselves "points" for their skill in finding the object, with higher scores given for spotting the night sky's more elusive or hard-to-see features. The book is organized by season--winter, spring, summer, fall--with an opening section on "things you need to know," such as marker objects (for example, Sirius, the brightest star in winter's night sky) and how to use them to search beyond. It also covers such topics as asteroids and dwarf planets, noctilucent clouds, northern lights, the International Space Station, sunspots, eclipses and much more.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 520 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Scagell Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Sc Damaged Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 520 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
