Sue - October 2022

Each year Collins have stepped up and given us an ‘astro-map’ to compliment our star-gazing. The booklet replaces the ever-popular planisphere that is no longer available but was a useful tool for fans of telescope viewing. On any given day or date, you can refer to the appropriate page to guide you as you star-gaze and inform you as to what you’re seeing in the night sky. It is a profoundly helpful book and last year we couldn’t order more after we ran out – this year we are organised! It is the go-to book for the family and with our local clear-skies accreditation it is easier to participate in all Astro-wonders! It’s a perfect gift for the whole whanau and nurtures the mind in wonders of the world. Highly recommended!
