Celestron Sky Maps – Your Essential Guide to the Night Sky
Whether you’re just beginning your stargazing journey or you’re a seasoned backyard astronomer, Celestron Sky Maps provide everything you need to explore the wonders of the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky with confidence. This durable, easy-to-use star chart set includes a glow-in-the-dark planisphere and detailed seasonal star maps, all designed to help you quickly identify constellations and discover deep-sky treasures all year round.
A time-tested favourite among astronomy educators, hobbyists, and scouts, Celestron Sky Maps make an ideal companion for telescope nights, binocular observing, or naked-eye constellation spotting.
Includes a Glow-in-the-Dark Planisphere
The front cover doubles as a rotatable star finder (planisphere) that can be aligned to any date and time, past or future. Simply rotate the wheel to match your chosen viewing time and it reveals a map of the visible night sky for that moment—complete with major stars and constellations.
Pre-expose the planisphere to light and it will glow in the dark, helping you preserve your night vision and making it even easier to match the sky chart to what you see overhead.
Detailed Seasonal Star Charts
Inside, you’ll find clear and concise star maps for each of the four seasons:
-
Winter
-
Spring
-
Summer
-
Autumn
These charts are ideal for star-hopping, helping you find your way from well-known stars and constellations to fainter deep-sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies—perfect for use with binoculars or a telescope. Each chart is labelled and colour-coded for easy navigation, even for beginners.
