Discover the Night Sky: Your Guide to the Heavens

product image

This four-part introduction to star watching is the work of astronomer Robin Kerrod. It consists of a planisphere , two 128-page spiral-bound books and a torch, all packed into a sturdy case.

The planisphere is two rotating discs fixed one above the other. It shows the constellations at different times during each night of the year and is designed to work best at latitude 35 degrees south.

The first of the two manuals, Mapping the Skies, expands on what's shown on the planisphere. It has an introduction to the main constellations of each hemisphere as well as a chapter dedicated to the regular celestial patterns that coincide with each month of the year. Within each chapter are more star maps, photographs of key features and information about the constellations.

The second book, The Star Guide, covers some of the more fundamental principles of astronomy and describes the different types of telescopes used to view our skies. It also looks at the stars and the planets of our solar system (and our exploration of it) in more detail; includes helpful tips for people interested in buying a telescope; and lists the 88 visible constellations and important dates in the history of astronomy.

Discover the Night Sky is a simple, practical introduction to astronomy for beginning enthusiasts. It contains lots of good reading, and the planisphere will help newcomers' orientation. Its readers will probably next find themselves investing in a decent telescope - and batteries for the torch.

Earth at Night

}

product image

In June 1994, a rogue storm hit the South Pacific ocean, causing terror, destruction and tragedy.

Forty vessels and aircraft became involved, either as rescuers or those requiring rescue; twenty-one people were plucked from the raging seas, a family of three were lost. This is the video of the tragedy and tells the story of the drama as it unfolds - the Metservice, Kerikeri Radio, Search and Rescue headquarters, the various rescue vessels and planes; and the people on the yachts, terrified, alone, reliant on the help of others many miles away.

This is ninety minutes of emotion-charged drama featuring the endurance of those who survived and the heroism of those on land, in the air, and at sea, acts that were later deservedly awarded.

Approximately 90 minutes running time.

The UKHO produce over 3300 Standard Nautical Charts and a wide range of thematic charts for specialist requirements. Admiralty standard nautical charts comply with Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations and are ideal for professional, commercial and recreational use. Charts within the series consist of a range of scales, useful for passage planning, ocean crossings, coastal navigation and entering port.

Mariners should always use the largest scale nautical chart appropriate to their needs. In particularly busy seaways such as the English Channel, Gulf of Suez and the Malacca and Singapore Straits, the standard nautical charts are supplemented by mariners routeing guides which provide advice on route planning in these complex areas.

Click here to go the UKHO's catalogue page. There's one you can download, but it's a little bit complicated to use. I would suggest just emailing us if you can't find what you want, we're here to help!
