    1. See the list (http://scienceolympiadsbd.blogspot.com/2015/02/astronomy-olympiad-books.html), and start with "A Student's Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy" for theoretical preparation, and "Sky and Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas/ তারা পরিচিতি - আব্দুল জব্বার" for observational preparation.
