Book Reviews of A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets (Peterson Field Guides)
Book Review: A must have book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the foundation of my astronomy books. Until now, I have been using an earlier (around 1980 I think) edition that I bought in college. The newer color sky maps are much easier to read in my opinion. Each sky map had a summary section that tells you all about the section of sky on the map. This is a great help to me for planning my observation schedule. I would say this is probably my most valuable and useful observational astronomy reference book.
