The Bucket List for Backyard Stargazers

Bucket-List-Backyard-StargazersThe Bucket List for Backyard Stargazers shows you how, where, and when to see 11 of the most extraordinary astronomical sights and events that every stargazer– every person– should see at least once in their lives before packing up their telescope for the last time.

The book is for all stargazers, but it’s especially aimed at the casual stargazer, one who may not have a big telescope or a lot of experience, but who has the curiosity and ambition to see some of the most beautiful, and in some cases, fleeting sights in all of nature. To see some of these sights, you need a simple pair of binoculars or a small telescope.  Some require travel or good timing and luck.  And a few require you to simply look up without any optical aid at all.

Once you see these 11 sights, then whatever else happens in your life, you can be assured you’ve seen some truly remarkable things that few people– even the most celebrated professional astronomers– ever get to see.

The e-book is available from Amazon’s Kindle store for just $2.99 (US dollars), about the same as a coffee and a donut, but much better for you…
