THE STARS TONIGHT Guide Stars Over Hawaii RHOADS Bishop Museum Star Chart Book

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Offered by Over The Blue Horizon is “THE SKY TONIGHT: A GUIDED TOUR OF THE STARS OVER HAWAII” by Samuel E. Rhoads. Most star charts available from commercial sources suffer from three limitations. First, they are prepared for a mid-mainland latitude, usually about 40 degrees north. Second, they normally represent the entire sky on one page in one large circle. Third, they show the stars with lines connecting them along with their star and constellation names, and lines representing such things as the ecliptic and equator. In Hawaii, this just doesn’t work …. This book largely corrects those shortcomings – plotted from a Hawaii latitude (21 degrees north), it allows the southern stars to be represented on the charts as seen in Hawaii skies. And, instead of one chart for the entire sky, there are a series of four charts for each viewing time – one each for north, east, south and west. Finally, these charts provide a unique opportunity to see the stars without all the clutter of lines representing the equator and the ecliptic with transparent overlays that contain these items should you choose to use them. If you are a Hawaii stargazer, you will need this book. This un-paginated, approximately 200 page, 8.5 x 11.25-inch spiral-bound softcover was published by The Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii in 1993.
