I was fortunate to talk with FireFly Books today at a book expo in Toronto. Terrence Dickinson will be our guest speaker at a star party I work on and I was happy to hold in my hands the first advanced copy of his books 3rd Edition of the Backyard Astronomers Guide. The cover image is a beautiful HorseHead Nebulae shot, and there is additional imaging information along with an expanded Southern Sky section. It is also updated with many nice features like new eyepieces and recent dobs like the Lightbridges etc. there is also a fantastic set of Milky-Way charts in the back.
I look forward to my copy in mid to late summer, price TBA.
