Re: [Utah-astronomy] H.A. Rey's The Stars A New Way to See Them going out of print?
I have the Rey book too. I used it for years. It does not have deep sky objects but it was good for constellation work Too bad that light pollution makes most of the stars impossible to observe in city skies. Sincerely, Gary Vardon The book DO It Right will help you understand vital ideas leading to your geater success. GO to PublishAmerica.
I'm still using Hans Augusto and Margaret Rey's book 'Curious George Flies a Kite' as my main source of astronomical reference while observing. The illustrations beat anything you'll find in Uranometria or the Millennium Star Atlas and the compendium of Curious George's adventures is much more affordable. Seriously, how can you not like or value a book that Albert Einstein blurbed?: "Many thanks for your lucid and stimulating book. I hope it finds the interest it deserves." - Letter to the author, September 30, 1953 Dave Bennett On Nov 13, 2009, at 11:47 AM, Gary Vardon wrote:
