The author guides the reader, who may be unfamiliar with astronomy, around the night sky during two winters and one summer between September 2018 and March 2020. The calculations are based on the dark sky town of Moffat but also cover Southern Scotland, the Borders and Northern England.
In October 2018 is a once in a 6-yearly chance to see the Giacobinid Meteor Shower. The dates of other meteor showers are also included in the book. Don't miss the supermoon in February 2019 and the two other occasions when full-moon is just one day away from being a supermoon. In June 2019 the planet Mercury - always difficult to find - has two guides in the form of the Moon and Mars to help find the innermost planet of the Solar System.
