50 Things To See With A Small Telescope

This book is excellent for any beginner to Astronomy. Obviously aimed at younger readers, however I found it very informative, I am 55 years old. I would have liked the pictures to be colour but the author explains why they are black and white. Which is ok. I now have a few ideas for my stargazing sessions. highly recommended.

I have just bought my first telescope, don't know what I am doing and really do not understand the potential of this new interest. I have bought loads of books, most of them very complicated even though they state beginner. This was the book I was searching for. So simply written for a numpty like me. Clear diagrams on where to look and most importantly what it will look like using a cheap telescope, absolutely brilliant. I am working though the book and I currently do two pages a night (clear sky's willing).Great fun and has kept me interested.

pretty basic but would give someone with a new telescope some interesting things to look at without too much difficulty. Well worth the download.

Great book for beginners.

Good item -pleased, arrived early !!

Very good

I thought this was a well written introduction to small telecope astronomy. Thiswould have been really useful to me when I first started using a small telescope.

The writing style is friendly and inviting and the content is very appropriate for novices who's interest in astronomy is simply as a hobby.

A very interesting and helpful book for beginners. Lots of examples, easy to read, good tips.

From choosing your first small telescope to what you can see with it in the sky, the author provides an easy how-to along with helpful images and brief descriptions/education of what you're looking at and where it is in the sky (star maps)! I'll be recommending this book to all my beginner astronomer friends in the nothern hemisphere who inquire about new telescopes and what they can look for with it!

Book denote the experience of ....... time traveled writer........who knows the initial expectations / difficulties / financial limitation of a biginner Astronomer......... and let the reader guided..........., to step by step enlightenment to the path of Astronomy ..... starting with a small scope...... Keep it up Sir

A must for Amateur astronomers, nice introduction to the night sky Si estas comprado un telescopio, compra este libro de una ves.

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!
