Written by a former freelance writer for Astronomy magazine, the guide provides almost daily data and information on the Moon and planets and lists details of hundreds of astronomical events.

Included in the guide are:
* Graphical depictions of the Moon and planets throughout the month
* Data tables for the Moon and planets including position, magnitude, apparent diameter and elongation from the Sun.
* Conjunctions between the Moon, planets and bright stars (including angular separations for planetary conjunctions.)
* Lunar and Solar eclipses
* Annual summaries of when to observe the planets
* Annual summaries of notable close planetary conjunctions
* Peak dates for the major meteor showers with moon phase
* Inferior and superior conjunctions for Mercury and Venus
* Greatest eastern and western elongations for Mercury and Venus
* Oppositions and solar conjunctions for the outer planets
* Dates of the equinoxes and solstices

PLUS
* Twenty-four star charts with accompanying lists of suggested deep sky objects

Whether you're an expert astronomer or a casual star gazer, the almanac is the essential guide for observers everywhere.
