Backyard Guide to the Night Sky is an excellent reference tool for finding celestial objects.  This book offers a roadmap to the stars and guides you on how to spot many different elements in the night sky.  With the Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, I have learned how I can find moons, planets, comets, meteors, nebulae, galaxies and of course, the constellations.  

One page explanations give the reader a quick insight into what is in the sky and how to best view it.  The writing will awaken your curiosity and give a cursory understanding to what you will be looking for, this is not an in-depth explanation.  Written as your field guide to the night sky, the Backyard Guide to the Night Sky offers valuable information to what you can see in outer space and how you can see it.  A useful tool for both beginners and more advanced stargazers, the Backyard Guide to the Night Sky is a perfect take-along guide for your next nighttime observation.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition by Andrew Fazekas and Howard Schneider – This may be a father’s day present that I really wanted myself as well. Self-serving book presents are still gifts from the heart right? Happy Reading!
