Star Maps 101 and Practices is a notebook/guide that I made in preparation for the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics. This contains a detailed description of Star Map/Chart analysis as well as a brief introduction to Astronomical Observations practically. This book is used in the training of the Bangladesh team at the Bangladesh Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics.
I started this book immediately after my Olympiad experience in 2016. However, as I joined Graduate school and my academics took precedence, I could not fully devote my time and resources to the book. As a result, I have not been able to cover all the topics I had set out to cover. I am currently working on improving the Telescopic observations part and am willing to add detailed notes on the Celestial Coordinate System. It seems that due to the file size, I won't be able to update this book anymore with the GitHub free version.
This book has been written in LaTeX and published via GitHub, hence a working knowledge of TeX and git is expected. The best way to contribute to this repository is by following these steps:

For interested contributors who are not familiar with these terms, the QGIS-documentation repo explains these steps in detail for people making their first contribution.
