Review: As its title suggests, this book goes through a complete year, pointing out the special items of interest for each night for observers in both the northern and southern hemispheres. You can observe them with the naked eye, with binoculars, or using just a small telescope. For each month there are maps of the night sky, and for each day an item of interest: a double star, a variable star, or a nebula; or even the Moon in some particular aspect. This new edition has been updated for astronomical events up to the year 2010.
