The Stars: A New Way to See Them by H A Rey
The Stars: A New Way to See Them

mbventuro, April 29, 2007

I am a beginner in the star gazing hobby, and i have found the traditional drawings of the constellations to be obscure at best. By using this book and the easy to "see" and "understand" drawings, it was a snap for even my youngest child to find in the sky. I cannot recommend this book more highly. HOWEVER, my copy is now too old, and doesnt show the positions of the current constellations. I would love it, if the publisher updated the maps. For now i intend to take the poorly draw scribbles from the paper and super-impose the authors drawings to make better sense. If you are a beginner or advanced star gazer, H.A. Reys constellations make MUCH more sense than the traditional versions.
