Hi. Just moved in.

Can ne1 help me out with books or newsletters or websites which deal with the bangalore night sky on a day to day basis?

The Edmund Mag 5 Star Atlas and Edmund Sky Guide are very good books, but unfortunately, they are no longer available at the planetarium. Good star atlases for beginners are hard to find in Bangalore now. :-(

You could try something at Sapna Book Stall, or the Tata Book House. I'm guessing. I found "Collins Pocket Guide to Stars and Planets", "Collins Gem Guide to the Night Sky" to be fairly good books, but I still love the Edmund Mag 5 Star Atlas.
