Dvd Astronomy
What would you recommend for an amateur astronomer?
I have already got the following books and things but there are lots of things thati simply dont understand about astronomy in general. Im always on the lookout for really great books and dvd’s with tons of info and beautiful pictures. What would you recommend?
Starry Night CSAP (Software)
Astronomica (Book)
Earth (Book; DK Publishing)
Universe (Book; DK Publishing)
Cosmos -Giles Sparrow (Book)
Astronomy (Magazine)
The Universe: Season One (History Channel DVD)
The Planets (A&E DVD)
Solarmax (DVD)
Carl Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’ (DVD)
In The Shadow Of The Moon (DVD)
From The Earth To The Moon (DVD)
nothing really specific that i want to learn. i just want to be able to understand what i see when i look up at the night sky instead of just mumbling “wow…pretty”
I would highly recommend the book “Nightwatch” by T. Dickinson. It is very informative in the areas of telescope selection, telescope use, and basic astronomy – but best of all, it has some very useful charts that can easily be seen at night. These will help you to learn the sky, and that’s half the fun of amateur astronomy.
ADDED: It is also full of beautiful and meaningful pictures.
