This is a brilliant book for anyone beyond beginner level. The juxtaposition of maps and data make observing a more pleasurable experience. It's packed with information and I have certainly increased my observing knowledge after almost 3 years in the hobby by reading and using this book. The information on the pages facing the maps include nebulae, binary stars and variable stars. With data on separations, periods and visibility in different size telescopes. There are descriptions of viewing the nebulae and much more. Tables for viewing the planets are at the back of the book.
