This 128 page guidebook with high resolution maps is designed to help you find the stars with official names as adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The eBook contains:

  • 24 full sky maps (northern hemisphere) with the brighter named and unnamed stars.
  • 89 constellation maps with all named stars, and unnamed stars to magnitude 6.5
    • Each map includes a table of name, brightness, language origin, and pronunciation (IPA).

  • Optimized layout for digital devices
  • Links to navigate the book and help make finding the right map easy (links do not work in the iOS Kindle app but seem fine in Android and Kindle Fire, as is typical of print replica books.)
  • A checklist to keep track of the stars you've found
  • Instructions on use
  • Tables and graphs describing different characteristics of the named stars
  • Optimized for latitude 40°N, but useful anywhere in the northern hemisphere between 30°N and 60°N (e.g. Houston to Fairbanks, or Cairo to Oslo)
  • A focus on IAU named stars. Constellations are de-emphasized, non-named stars are not labeled, and most reference information (grids, lines, deep sky objects) are absent to reduce map clutter.
