‘STARGAZING FOR ALL’ is now out and about in bookshops and on Waterstones website and Amazon and for order at your local independent bookshop. Aimed at getting people interested in looking up and learning about what they see, the book is based on the questions I have been asked over the years. The book begins with easy to spot stars so you’re not overwhelmed with technical info. You just need your eyes. And my book!
