Riassunto

“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 "Pennsylvania 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
  Pennsylvania’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 "Pennsylvania StarWatch."
