Night Skies of Botswana

- By Stephen James O’meara

Struik Publishers (Pty) Ltd otswana is one of the best locations in Africa to view wildlife and also because of its relatively low levels of light pollution. This book introduces the night skies of the southern hemisphere as seen from Botswana, and describes the stars and constellat­ions that are visible to the naked eye. The author discusses some essential stargazers’ tools and tips before mapping the southern skies in a series of monthly star charts that feature the most prominent stars and constellat­ions.

Accessible and designed for fledgling and experience­d stargazers alike, Night Skies of Botswana is the perfect guide to one of Southern Africa’s most beautiful and enduring natural treasures.
