Something to kick-start the budding astronomer in the new year:

“Are you looking for all the best of what’s up in the night sky for the year 2007? Then be my guest and download my free e.book — ’365 Days of SkyWatching’! (Brought to you courtesy of The Universe Today.) Each day is specifically geared to give you the best of what can be seen with the unaided eye, binoculars, and small telescopes and even has challenge objects for seasoned observers. It’s beautifully illustrated and contains many special features, such as anotated lunar maps. Please feel free to pass it along to anyone in the astronomy community and enjoy!”
