Now in Black and White!!
For some time now i've been very interested in astronomy and as where I live has very little light pollution I sometimes go out and see what I can see. however Apart from the Big Dipper and Orion, I can't really pick out much else (apart from what I suspect to be Venus)
Can anyone suggest any good books or sites I could look at which would help me what I could see from where I am? I've seen some sites which say 'Constellation X and Y are located at this location' and then give numbers. What books would you suggest I look into so I could have an idea of where exactly they're meaning when they give co-ordinates like that. Or are there any other stargazers out there who can offer me any tips?
