The Astronomy Now Planisphere

The Astronomy Now Yearbook: Stargazer's Guide 2026 is packed with everything you need to find your way around the northern hemisphere's night sky in the year ahead. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who has been doing this your whole life, the Stargazer's Guide 2026 will be your constant companion with its month-by-month star charts and observation tips. The yearbook also features special articles looking at the best way to start stargazing, and everything you need to know about 'smartscopes' – the affordable telescopes that are revolutionising astronomy for everyone because they require no prior knowledge to use them.

Thank you all for the overwhelming demand for this year's Stargazer's Yearbook. Despite printing the same quantity as last year, they have flown off our office shelves and stock is now almost in single figures. The Yearbook is still available in newsagents (but hurry!) and if we are finally out of stock on this site, it might remain available online here.

Next year, please order early and we'll print more!
