Starry Night

I ended the weekend star-gazing.  It was a nice cool respite before the week ahead.  While this website is a little heavy on the purple text, it's a good guide to astronomy resources if you feel like things are looking up.  The Fourth edition of Peterson Field Guide to the Stars and Planets by Jay M. Pasachoff and Donald H Menzel is currently available and I'd recommend this text as a staple.

2nd & 3rd Editions
August 2013
My bookshelf holds the 1992 Third Edition and tonight's astronomer host has a well-worn second edition that was used to guide our small party through the Nebula and beyond.
