Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased every edition of this guide since it first appeared. It is updated regularly and includes all the basics one needs to understand astronomy and to conduct successfull observation sessions. It makes effective use of Wil Tirion's meticulous star charts which are widely recognized as wthout equal. Field guides do not get better than this.
