PHILIP`S STAR CHART shows the stars and constellations of the night sky in three superb maps: the northern and southern hemispheres, and the equatorial region. All stars visible with naked eye are shown, and fainter star clusters and nebulae are marked for observers using binoculars or small telescopes. Constellations, double stars and variable stars are listed, and an informative text explains how to use the charts throughout the year, at any latitude.

PHILIP`S MOON MAP shows the near side of the moon in superb detail for amateur. More than 500 physical features are named and indexed: maria, walled plains and craters, mountains, valleys and rilles. The landing sites of Luna, Ranger, Surveyor and Apollo spacecraft are also shown. An authoritative text summarizes the latest findings on the origins and composition of the Moon.
