Like having an astronomer with you to point out the constellations and fill you in on the lore of the night sky. This audio program provides a guided tour of the heavens for each of the four seasons. The tour is accompanied by an excellent 40 page booklet of the narrative, plus diagrams of the seasonal skies, and of the individual constellations.
The tour is narrated by Sherwood Harrington of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Each of the four 25-minute tours contain clear, nontechnical information and observing hints to help you find your way in the sky. The narrations contain pauses that are designed to give you time to look for (and at) what's being described. But unlike a live teacher, you can turn this one off. The Tour was extensively field tested both in a planetarium and outdoors, and is optimized for latitudes in North America. SW 0.7 lbs.
