Description: The joy of gazing is an observing manual designed for the newcomer to the field of amateur astronomy DAVID LEVY (1948-) began studying Physics at McGill and Geology at Acadia before switching to English Literature in which field he got his M.A. degree from Queen's University in 1979. His love of Astronomy sprang from summer evenings at his grandfather's cottage on Jarnac Pond, deep in the Laurentians northwest of Montreal, and his observing skill was honed by membership in Montreal Centre's Observing Group. Starting in 1965, he was a keen but unsuccessful searcher of novas and comets, and a diligent observer of meteors, Messier objects and variable stars. By the time he received the Chant Medal in 1980, David Levy had become the most prolific observer in the AAVSO, with over 10,000 estimates made in one year.
