This book has been wonderfully laid out to not come across as too simple for the seasoned star gazer but also not too technical for the newcomer.This will provide all the information you need to get started. I would recommend this alongside the collins planisphere and a good astronomy (Red wavelength) torch for field reading as to not affect your night vision. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality introduction. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 December 2016* Great quality book and a perfect introduction to Astronomy.The book is simple and informative with lovely illustrations throughout. This would make a great read or a gift for anyone with a casual interest in stargazing and a worthwhile stepping stone for those taking Astronomy further!Would recommend.Good luck with your purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband loves this *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 April 2017* I bought this for my husband after he completed an astronomy course as a hobby. It came on time although was a little thinner than I had thought. My husband loves that he can just dive in here and there and read whatever he's interested in that day - there's no set way to read it like chapters etc. The pictures are beautiful and it's very easy to read; particularly for the novice. The paper, however, has a shiny overlay and so some pages do stick together. All in all a really good and useful book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stargazing: Beginners Guide to Astronomy - National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition (National Geographic Backyard Guides) - Guide to the Stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48910397-stargazing-introductory-guide-to-exploring-the-night-sky-perfect-beginners](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48910397-stargazing-introductory-guide-to-exploring-the-night-sky-perfect-beginners) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
