Astronomer Bob Mizon directs readers to dark sky sites in the United Kingdom, the United States, and a few further afield. This is more than just a hotel guide with links for accommodation at or near the locations. There are chapters on choosing telescopes and binoculars, on celestial objects astro-tourists can look for in the night sky, and an investigation into the causes of the skyglow that veils our view of the stars. Most of those who go seeking the stars are not professional astronomers. This book is aimed at those observers with limited knowledge of the night sky who are eager to explore and enjoy it. Even those contemplating setting up astro-themed hotels, campsites, or astronomy events can benefit from reading this book and from the advice included on how to equip such places, stargazing etiquette and star-friendly lighting.The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,1431-9756AstronomyAstronomyObservationsAstronomy—ObservationsAirPollutionPopular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35010Astronomy.AstronomyAstronomy—Observations.AirPollution.Popular Science in Astronomy.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.523.80223Mizon Bobauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut805091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254630703321Finding a Million-Star Hotel2533248UNINA
