Perfect for camping trips, the cabin, and the backyard, this booklet introduces 30 of the most important constellations to know. It begins with tips for watching stars and shows you how to locate constellations by working outward from the Big Dipper and Orion. Season sky maps show which constellations are visible at different times of the year.
