5 out of 5 stars a must read before buying a telescope of any kind   May 21, 2008
if you can't decide what to buy, read this book and you'll make a much more informed choice when you do eventually buy something. it is a must read for anyone thinking of buying that first 'scope, or even binoculars. it is full of useful info, and is the best way to avoid making a wrong purchase that i know of, especially if you are not a member of an astronomy club where you can put questions too the members. highly recomended.

If you want to learn constellations, how to use a telescope to the best of it's ability, or you are looking to buy binoculars or a telescope, don't bother with other books, just buy this one. It is very useful for both someone who has never touched a telescope and those who are a little more seasoned.

An absolutely brilliant book, highly imformative and easy to read, an essential purchase for anyone considering taking up astronomy and extremely useful for the experienced amateur. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

i would advise any person wanting to buy a telescope(especially the beginner) to read this book before handing over your cash.it will save you alot of money in the long run (& disappointment) & it will tell you exactly what you should be looking for when buying a telescope depending on your interests.well worth it!!!!


5 out of 5 stars To the point   October 5, 2002

Written with the beginner in mind this is an excellent book for people about to embark on a new venture - stargazing.
If you own a telescope and find the whole thing perplexing then I am sure this book will help. For me, however, its strength lies in its information aimed at people about to buy thier first instrument. Unbiased, to the point and very well explained it is one of the best starter books I have read in a long time. I feel confident that I now know what it is I am looking for to suit my needs and I can shop armed with all the information I need . Highly recomended
