NightScenes 2027: 
A monthly guide to astronomical events for the year

The ​NightScenes monthly guide to the night sky for the year began way back in the year 1999 when the author, Paul, felt there was a need for a UK based colour guide. The first yearbook covered 2000 AD and was self printed, so you could argued it was genuinely self published, it should be noted the printer didn’t like it one bit! 
To improve the quality and save our replacement printer, Cupit Print of Horncastle was approached and they subsequently printed every edition until the 2020 edition which was hit by the Covid pandemic. NightScenes thrived even if it couldn’t fully dominate the market but it was the pandemic that halted sales as many sales were often at astronomical societies when the author was giving a talk. With physical meetings banned for several months, no sales and so the NightScenes yearbook came to an untimely end.
Yet today there is such an urge for people to look up at the night sky it was time for a rethink and so, after several years, it’s now back as Kindle and paperback to see how the land lies, so to speak.

NightScenes 2027 features:
Over 200+ events covered in the print edition and the kindle edition
Full colour charts for many of the events
Full sky Monthly charts set for the UK & Ireland
The planetary positions throughout the year
Fully annotated charts
Notable Meteor showers
Selected minor worlds/Dwarf planet Ceres
Solar/Lunar Eclipses if observable
Plus much more!

Expected publication ~ early to mid July

NightScenes: Guide to Simple Astrophotography 2nd Edition.

The long awaited 2nd edition of Paul's guide to what can be captured of the night (and in some case the daytime sky) using just a camera (or smartphone), tripod and intervalometer. 

The first edition was published in 2012 as an A5 sized book which didn't do the images justice so this new 2nd edition will be 8x10 inches and using Kindle Direct Publishing premium colour paper with a glossy cover.

The Kindle version is £9.99 and the printed version £30
167 pages packed with information and updated with additional images including two new chapters on smartphone astrophotography.
NOTE: Every effort to reproduce the images throughout the printed edition has been made , however due to the limitation in KDP some star images may be a little washed out.
