This book will help you: - Choose the telescope that's right for your budget - Identify prominent stars and major constellations - See bright nebulae and globular clusters - Explore the Moon and planets - View comets and asteroids - Track the Space Station and spot satellite flairs - So much more! Written by astronomer John A. Read. Host of Learn To Stargaze on YouTube. Review: Perfect for someone just starting out in Astronomy. - Very user friendly book and very informative but not overwhelming for a “newbie” exploring Astronomy. I did not find the lack of color graphics to be an issue in the softcover edition. The information presented was enough for a starting point to exploring the targets. I also love the intro to telescope shopping and the Astronomer’s checklist at the beginning of the book. The diagrams are helpful to navigate finding Deep Sky Objects. I also agree with the author’s “difficulty” rating system. If you are purchasing this item you may consider purchasing the Activity Workbook by the same author to help record field notes and sketches. This would also make a perfect bundle gift if you are giving a telescope or binoculars as a gift to a beginner! Review: Buy This Before Buying a Telescope! - This book is a great introduction to the joys of telescope use and exploration of the wonders of the night sky. It is also inexpensive and concise. They cover everything someone contemplating the hobby would want to know and make recommendations. It is a very easy read and is a great starting point for questions about telescopes and things that one can start out viewing. I got this with a telescope and have to say the book fills in details I didn’t get from the users manual for my telescope. I’m lookibg forward to utilizing this book and the telescope for some family fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #281,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Telescopes (Books) #45 in Star-Gazing (Books) #228 in Astronomy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,455 Reviews | ## Images ![50 Things To See With A Small Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Fllla0jmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for someone just starting out in Astronomy. *by L***J on November 3, 2020* Very user friendly book and very informative but not overwhelming for a “newbie” exploring Astronomy.
