Knowledge of the location and movements of the navigational stars and planets frequently sparks an interest among celestial navigators to go a step further into amateur astronomy. The sky offers a rich display of objects and events to observe with the naked eye, binoculars, telescope, or camera. Amateur astronomy seems to be divided into these four categories; and standard advice is to proceed in this sequence. Each category is uniquely rewarding in its own way. Thus, one should not feel ineffective simply due to lack of a telescope for deep sky observing. We have assembled books, computer programs, and other products which will enhance your under standing and enjoyment of the night sky.
