Knowing where to go involves exploring or using a map. Rather than reinventing the wheel, so to speak, everyone looks at a map when starting a journey. This speeds up their travels and lets them discuss their whereabouts with others. Robin Scagell in his book Night Sky Atlas provides the maps and directions to give the neophyte stargazer a leg up on their understanding of the heavens. So don't go guessing on where to look for which constellation, start with this book then take that first step into astronomy.
