Astronomy doesn’t deserve
its reputation as a tough,
expensive hobby to get
into. You just need
to begin with the right
advice.
way around the sky. They also give you a
view that’s right side up and straight in
front of you, making it easy to see where you’re pointing. Binoculars are fairly inex-pensive, widely available, and easy to carry
and store. They’re also versatile; you canswitch from terrestrial to celestial viewingin an instant. And their performance is
surprisingly respectable. Ordinary 7- to 10-power binoculars improve on the unaided
eye about as much as a good amateur tele-scope improves on binoculars — and at a
far lower cost. For astronomy, the largerthe front lenses are, the better. High opticalquality is important too. But any binocu-
lars already knocking around the back of your closet are enough to launch your
amateur-astronomy career.
Use Maps and GuidebooksOnce you’ve learned your way around thenight sky, binoculars can keep you busy
for years. With good maps and referencebooks, you can identify dozens of the
Moon’s craters, plains, and mountains.Binoculars will show you the ever-chang-
ing positions of Jupiter’s moons and thecrescent phases of Venus. They’ll alsoreveal most of the 109 “M objects,” the star
clusters, galaxies, and nebulae cataloged by 18th-century astronomer Charles Messier.
Binoculars will let you split scores of col-orful double stars and allow you to follow
the fadings and brightenings of numerousvariable stars. All this and more is possible
— but only if you know where to look andwhat to look for. Moreover, the skills you’lldevelop using maps and guidebooks with
binoculars are exactly the skills you’ll needto put a telescope to good use.
Seek Out Other AmateursThere’s nothing like sharing an interest withothers. There are hundreds of astronomy clubs worldwide; Sky & Telescope ’s Web site
includes a directory of them. Call a clubnear you to find out when it holds meetings
or all-night observing sessions called “starparties.” These events offer a wonderful
opportunity to try out different telescopes,learn new skills, and make friends.
When It’s Time for a Telescope,Plunge in Deep
Eventually you’ll be ready for your first telescope. This is no time to skimp on quality.The telescope you want has two essentials.
One is high-quality, “diffraction-limited”optics. The other is a solid, steady, smooth
ly working mount. You may also want largaperture (size), but don’t lose sight of portability and convenience. Remember, the
best telescope for you is the one you’ll actually use.
Many telescopes have built-in comput-ers and motors that will point them to an
of thousands of celestial objects at the
push of a few buttons. These are a lot of fun to use and can help you locate sights
you might otherwise overlook. But it’s stilhelpful to know your way around the sky
— especially if your batteries run out!It’s true that telescopes can cost many
thousands of dollars, but it’s also true thasome good ones can be had for only a fewhundred dollars. Can’t afford the scope
you want? Save up until you can. Another year of using binoculars while building a
savings account will be time you’ll never
regret.
Relax and Have FunDon’t get upset if you can’t find a particu-
lar object or because the view in your tele-scope is less than perfect. Learn to take
pleasure in whatever your eyes, binocularsor telescope can show you. The more you
look, the more you’ll see. Set your ownpace, and revel in the beauty and mystery
of our amazing universe!

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU can see a galaxy
21 ⁄ 2 million light-years away with your
unaided eye? Or that you can see craterson the Moon with ordinary binoculars?These and countless other wonders await
your gaze every clear night. The first stepis simply to look up and ask, “What’sthat?”And when you do, you’ll take the
first step toward a lifetime of cosmicexploration and enjoyment. What’s the
best way to get started on this excitingadventure?
Read It and ReapThe joy of astronomy comes from finding
your way around the starry sky andunderstanding what you see. A great place
to start is your local library or bookstore.Browse the astronomy shelf for beginner’s
guides that will teach you about theMoon, planets, and constellations. Checkthe magazine rack for Sky & Telescope , the
hobby’s essential monthly magazine. Itoffers practical tips for observers as well as
articles on many fascinating astronomicaltopics.
Another great resource is the WorldWide Web. Start at Sky & Telescope ’s site,SkyandTelescope.com, or you can use any
search utility to look up topics such as“amateur astronomy” or “stargazing.”
Let the Stars Get in Your EyesGo out on any clear, dark night and famil-iarize yourself with the star patterns over-
head, using the constellation maps on thefollowing pages.
If you live in a brightly lit city or town,
find a place where there’s less light pollu-tion (or at least a spot free from the glare
of nearby lights) so you can see morestars. The ability to look up and say,
“There’s Alpha Centauri!” or “That’sSaturn!”will provide pleasure — and asense of your place in the cosmos — for
the rest of your life.
Start with BinocularsBinoculars are an ideal “first telescope”
for several reasons. They show you a widefield of view, making it easy to find your

Looking DeeperTake the maps out often, and try to learn a
new constellation each night. You are estab-lishing the landmarks you’ll need for find-
ing your way when you start using binocu-lars or a telescope.
Once you know at least some constella-tions fairly well, you can start exploring thesky a lot more deeply with optical aid. For
this you’ll need larger star charts that showmore close-up detail.
The maps here show stars as faint asmagnitude 4.5. This is about as faint as you
can see with the naked eye through subur-ban light pollution. Also plotted are some
interesting objects for binoculars or smalltelescopes: star clusters, nebulae, and galax-ies. When hunting for these faint sights
you’ll have an easier time if you use largercharts that show stars to at least as faint as
magnitude 6. (Higher magnitude numbersmean fainter stars.)
People who get serious about using a tel-escope will want even more detailed sky charts — ones that show stars as faint as
magnitude 8 or so. Sky Atlas 2000.0 by WilTirion and Roger W. Sinnott is the set most
widely used. The latest edition shows 81,000stars to magnitude 8.5 and 2,700 galaxies,
star clusters, and nebulae.Clear skies!
Greek Letters on Star MapsThe brightest stars in each constellation are
named with lowercase Greek letters. A con-stellation’s most brilliant star is often called
Alpha, the first letter in the Greek alphabet.The letters are used with the Latin genitiveform of the constellation name, so the
Alpha star of Centaurus is called “AlphaCentauri.”
Here is the lowercase Greek alphabet as
used by astronomers:
α Alphaβ Betaγ Gammaδ Deltaε Epsilonζ Zetaη Etaθ Theta
CAN YOU SPOT THE SOUTHERN CROSS? Orion?
The Large Magellanic Cloud? Your explo-ration of the universe begins with learning
the stars in your evening sky. But differentconstellations are visible at different times of
year and hours of the night, depending on
your latitude and which way the night sideof our planet is facing.
The accompanying charts will help youget oriented. They’re designed for skywatch-
ers in midsouthern latitudes such as Aus-
tralia, southern Africa, and parts of SouthAmerica. Each represents the entire sky atthe dates and times printed on it. Find achart appropriate for your date, and go out
within an hour or so of the time listed.
How the Charts Work The round edge of each chart represents your
horizon, with compass directions labeled.Turn the map around so the edge markedwith the direction you’re facing (north, east,
or whatever) is right-side up. The stars abovethis horizon on the map will now match the
stars you’re facing. Ignore the rest of the mapfor now.
The map’s center is overhead (the zen-tih). So a star that’s plotted halfway fromthe edge to the center can be found about
halfway up the sky. That is, it will behalfway from horizontal to straight up.
Dot sizes indicate star brightnesses —the larger the dot, the brighter the star.
Example: Let’s try the May/June chart. Turnit so the horizon labeled “Facing SW”(southwest) is right-side up. About a third
of the way from there to the center is thebright star Canopus. Go outside around
one of the dates and times listed, facesouthwest, and look a third of the way from
horizontal to straight up. There’s Canopus!To the left of Canopus is the fuzzy Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of our Milky
Way’s satellite galaxies. Still farther left, al-most due south, is the Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC). Turn the chart so the “FacingSouth” horizon edge is right-side up. When
you hold the chart correctly, the SMC is di-rectly in front of you and not very high up,
Here’s how to use our bimonthly
star charts to identify your
evening stars and constellations.
Finding Your Way
Among the Starsand the LMC is to the right and a little high-
er — just the way they look in the southernand southwestern sky. Nearly overhead, as
you crane your neck up, are the bright stars
Alpha (α) and Beta (β) Centauri, with thelittle constellation Crux — the Southern
Cross — to their right.
Tips for SuccessFind a dark viewing site and bring a dimflashlight to read the map by. It’s best to use
red light, which helps preserve your nightvision.
When you start out, look only for thebrightest stars on the map, those depicted
with the biggest dots. Mentally blank out thefainter ones if you are in a city or suburb (or
in bright moonlight); they will be invisible ornearly so through the “light pollution.” Butwherever you are, remember that there is a
much bigger difference between bright andfaint stars in the sky than is suggested on the
chart.Remember that the chart is a very
reduced representation of the real sky. To
see how reduced, hold your hand at arm’slength with your fingers fully spread as
wide as you can. One of these “hand spans”from thumbtip to little fingertip is about
the separation between the LMC and SMC.Compare this with the gap between themon the charts. You can work your way
around by remembering this rule: Onehand span in the sky is slightly less than an
inch on the chart. Pretty tiny!The maps are drawn for an observer at 35°
south latitude (for example, Sydney, CapeTown, Santiago). If you’re far south of there,
stars in the southern part of the sky will ap-pear higher than the map shows, and stars inthe north will be lower. If you’re far north of
35° latitude, the reverse will be true.
The Moon and planets are not plottedbecause they’re always changing position.Find the line arcing across each chart
labeled “ECLIPTIC.” This is the line nearwhich the Sun, Moon, and planets alwaystravel. It’s called the ecliptic because it’s
where eclipses can occur.If you see a bright “star” near the ecliptic
that’s not on the map, you’ve located aplanet. To figure out which one it is, con-
sult the latest issue of Sky & Telescope orvisit SkyandTelescope.com and use ourInteractive Sky Chart.

When to Use This ChartEarly July 10 p.m.
Late July 9 p.m.Early Aug. 8 p.m.Late Aug. 7 p.m.
These are standard times. The chart is also
useful in late April at 3 a.m., late May at 1a.m., and late June at 11 p.m.
How to Use This ChartGo out within an hour or so of the time listed at left.
Turn the chart around so the edge marked with thedirection you’re facing is right-reading. The starsabove this horizon on the map now match the stars
in front of you. The map’s center is overhead (thezenith). So a star plotted halfway from the
edge to the center can be found inthe sky about halfway
from horizontal tostraight up.

waxing (growing) crescent, we see the parts
on the right edge of the map. At first-quarter
phase we see the entire right half, and so on.To use this lunar map, turn the chart
until it matches your view. Note: Some tele-
scopes give a mirror image, which will notmatch this map no matter how you turn it.
Refractors and Cassegrain reflectors give
mirror images when used with a star diago-
nal; so does any other instrument contain-ing an odd number of mirrors. If you findthis to be a problem, take out the star diag-
onal and view “straight through.” A correctimage is much easier to compare with any map.
Once the map is oriented, it will besimple to identify the major craters,
mountains, and other features.In time, the geography of
this alien world will be-come as familiar to
you as that of
our own.
The Moon is by far the most rewarding ce-
lestial object for a small telescope. Even a
very small instrument will reveal its bleak,blasted landscape of mountain ranges,plains, hills, valleys, and craters. Even
binoculars show many features, and thereare enough interesting sites on the Moon tokeep a telescopic explorer busy forever.
You’ll notice right away that exceptwhen the Moon is full, it is divid-
ed by the terminator, the lineseparating lunar day and
night. Here is wheredetail shows best.
