Stargazing from Game Reserves in Southern Africa offers visitors to game and nature reserves an opportunity to discover the magnificence of the night sky without the distractions of city lights. However, the book has equal relevance for all skywatchers throughout southern Africa.
Readers are taken on a brief celestial ‘game drive’ and are then directed towards the ‘Big Five’ constellations of the night sky. There are clear steps for navigating the skies, tracking the planets, and even spotting the moons of Jupiter. This new edition features updated charts, colourful photos, and illustrations. Interesting fact boxes make for added interest and accessibility. Written and revised by recognised authorities and expertly illustrated, the book also features useful tips and hints for star-watchers in any out-of-town location.
A lively introduction to the night sky.
