Sky
Puppy Observe Manual 
The manual includes a variety of
projects tailored specifically for the Sky Puppy. The workbook style
enhances learning through hands-on projects, matching word exercises, coloring,
word games, and includes a make-your-own planisphere project. Included
with the manual is an audio CD-rom with a variety of constellation stories
artfully re-told.
While the vast majority of the
observing programs are geared to beginning and advanced adult observers, the Sky
Puppies Club is designed just for the younger observer. The Astronomical
League encourages young observers to hone their skills early since most hobbies
and vocational interests begin at an early age. The purpose of the Sky
Puppies Club is to familiarize young observers with the night sky.
A Sky Puppy will learn the rudiments of
observing, how to read a chart or planisphere, how to find and identify
constellations, stars, and deep-sky objects. In addition, a Sky Puppy will
learn that the night sky is not just about dots and fuzzy blobs, but about
history, culture, and stories.
