Skywatcher's Calendar 2010 features over 20,000 words of informative text and celestial insights, spread over 365 days. First published in 1997, Stan Shadick's annual calendar-book has evolved into a unique educational tool and sky-chart reference guide for children and adults alike. Enhanced annually with original graphics this increasingly popular calendar depicts monthly sky-charts relevant to night skies from latitudes 37° North (San Francisco) to 60° North (the Arctic Circle). The range includes all Canadian communities, U.S. cities from Washington D.C. to San Francisco and points north, Great Britain, and most of Europe.

Black holes, stars, planets, meteor showers, comets, and galaxies are just part of what the night skies have to offer. Stan Shadick explains all things celestial in this award-winning calendar that features star maps with horizon scenes for orienting novice stargazers to the heavens; inset maps illustrating planetary conjunctions and tips for finding Venus in the daytime sky; and times for viewing eclipses of Jupiter's moons with a spotting scope. Daily commentaries describe constellation mythology, cosmic events, and celestial discoveries. Find out what to watch for in the skies every night of the year. On a dark night, most of the stars described in this calendar can be viewed with the unaided eye or with binoculars. The star maps in this calendar are year-round reference charts for people living in Canada, U.S. cities from Washington D.C. to San Francisco and points north, and most of Europe. Skywatcher's Calendar 2010 is the perfect way to explore the mysteries of the heavens.
Competing against 290 entries from Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Israel, and the United States, Skywatcher's 2003 won the Silver Award for the "Most Informative Wall Calendar" in the National Awards Retail Division. It also won the Bronze Award for "Most Original Calendar" in the World Calendar Division. This is a juried competition which ranks as the calendar industry's premier competition, recognizing the highest quality calendar design and production.
The author, Stan Shadick, teaches Astronomy courses at the University of Saskatchewan, as well as supervising the University's observatory. He also writes a monthly astronomy column for the Saskatoon Sun.
