Chances are if you view the night sky or consider yourself an amateur astronomer then you will be familiar with this classic book. First published in 1983, NightWatch is the bestselling standard guide for backyard astronomers and has been updated in several new editions since publication. This September we are launching the exciting, completely overhauled and updated 5th edition of this indispensable resource which will be useful to nightwatchers through to 2035. In the new edition readers will find updates throughout, new high-quality images, a complete redesign and an entirely new chapter on Digital Astrophotography by Alan Dyer. The astronomy community, family and friends lost Terence Dickinson earlier this year. His enduring curiosity and love for the night sky has influenced countless others to embraced this wonderful pasttime.
