Observer's Handbook
The Observers Handbook (one of the most comprehensive amateur references) is published every year and is included "free" with your membership to the Society. This soft cover book is packed full of information covering many areas of observing and events for the current year, from timing of sunset and moonrise to eclipses and deep sky wonders.
