Review

By any standard, Stargazing is a serious contender for the title of best all-around introduction to binocular astronomy (Tony Flanders Sky & Telescope )

This is a handy-dandy guide to heavenly viewing by using--what the authors dub--"the poor person's telescope." (Coalition for Space Exploration.com )

Product Description

A practical, concise beginner's guide to viewing the night sky through binoculars.

Stargazing with Binoculars is ideal for newcomers to astronomy. Authors Robin Scagell and David Frydman include the wide range of binoculars on the market and provide advice on features to consider when making a purchase. The book guides the beginner through the first steps of using binoculars to observe the night sky, describes what will be visible, and shows how to find specific objects.

Illustrated throughout and filled with handy tips, the book covers:

What to expect from binoculars and how they actually work

Upgrading after the first purchase
Observing the sun, the moon, planets, comets, asteroids, stars, clusters, variable stars, double stars, novas, nebulas and galaxies
