Synopsis
The world of telescopes, spotting scopes and binoculars can be quite daunting to the uninitiated. Part buyer's guide, part instruction manual, this reference sorts out all the essential details. It provides a foundation in such basics as telescope types, accessories, adjustments and maintenance, and includes tested techniques for successful viewing at sporting events, viewing landscapes and terrain, as well as basic stargazing. Finally, star charts and other astronomy references show readers how to navigate around the heavens and photograph specific objects in the night sky.
