Thanks for the tip Wavytone. I have had a look on the web and it looks like it has been out of print since Nov '96. I will have to try and get hold of a 2nd hand copy.
The Science Club Teacher is in the process of planning astronomy evenings and working through lesson plans for the kids. Initially the students will have to work out how to use Star Charts to find their way to the fainter objects. They will have lots to learn during their lunch breaks.
