The book "How to Observe the Stars" by astronomer and astrophotographer Ruslan Ilnitsky serves as an entry point to astrophotography. It covers essential knowledge for amateur astronomers, from understanding equipment terminology to practical advice on choosing and maintaining a first telescope. The guide also teaches observation techniques for various celestial objects, including the Moon, planets, stars, and meteors, and explains how to use star charts and specialized software for night sky photography.
The fold-out two-sided star map measures 790x640 mm. It displays the night sky as seen from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with stars ranked by apparent magnitude. The map includes names of the brightest stars, outlines of all 88 constellations, and brief notes on the Solar System, celestial sphere, coordinates, ecliptic, and zodiac.
The planisphere allows you to identify visible stars and constellations for any date and time. It shows stars down to 5th magnitude within declination +90° to -50°. By rotating the movable disk and setting the desired date and time, you can view the night sky visible from your location.
