Extraordinary Sights: What You Can See in the Night Sky

April 15, 2015 by Brian Ventrudo Filed Under: Free Guides

You can see much more in the night sky than just stars. From the Moon and rings of Saturn, to comets and meteor showers, from diamond-dust star clusters to swirling galaxies far outside our own, the contents of the night sky visible in a small telescope is as varied as the wildlife in a tropical jungle. In the e-book called “Extraordinary Sights: What You Can See in the Night Sky”, you discover…

  • Features visible on the major planets with binoculars or a small telescope
  • The best meteor showers of the year and how to observe them
  • The two easiest craters on the Moon to see with a pair of binoculars
  • Three celestial objects even new stargazers can see that are linked to the birth, life, and death of stars
  • The critical difference between the two main types of star clusters and how it affects what to look for when you observe them
  • The layout of the Milky Way and the main types of galaxies visible in a small telescope
  • Plus you’ll come to understand the sometimes confusing systems astronomers use to name stars and other deep-sky objects
