Part I Astronomy -- Chapter 1 Telescope Shops & Astronomy Shows -- Chapter 2 Planetaria & Science Museums -- Chapter 3 In Search of Dark Skies -- Chapter 4 Star Parties -- Chapter 5 Astronomy in the National Parks -- Chapter 6 Hawaii -- Chapter 7 The Northern Lights -- Chapter 8 Southern Skies -- Chapter 9 Eclipses & Other Time Specific Events -- Chapter 10 Observing Other Astronomically Related Phenomena -- Chapter 11 Enhancing Your Observing Experience -- Part II Space -- Chapter 12 NASA Visitor Centers & Other U.S. Space Sites -- Chapter 13 Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center Star City -- Chapter 14 Meet an Astronaut -- Chapter 15 Cosmic Adventures -- Appendix: Useful Books and Websites -- Index.

This astronomy travel guide examines the many wonderful opportunities for experiencing the observing hobby. Amateur astronomy is often consigned to observing from home or from a local park, yet it can be much more. Tim Treadwell explores all the possibilities of astronomical and space-related activities that are available on day trips and longer vacations. These activities range from observatory visits and other simple ways to build an astronomy event into a holiday, to full blown specialized astronomy travel. Many trips give the opportunity to visit some of the world's famous attractions. On most vacations it can be a matter of just taking a day (or night) out of your schedule to fit in an astronomy event, but larger, dedicated pilgrimages are also possible. How to make the most of astronomy potential on a holiday, whether observing on the beach in Hawaii with the Telescope Guy or visiting Star City in Russia, is covered in detail. Go to a star party, explore the national parks or see the northern lights! There are a wide variety of activities for all budgets described in this book.
