| Description: |
Two full-time astronomy writers bring decades of experience to this expanded edition. With more than 500 color photos and illustrations, this book sets the standard for reliable information on one of the world's most popular hobbies. |
| Synopsis: |
What type of telescope is best for beginners? Can I use my camera to take photographs through a telescope? How good are the new computerized telescope mounts? What charts, books, software and other references do I need? These questions are asked time and again by enthusiastic new amateurs as they take up recreational astronomy. But accurate, objective and up-to-date information can be hard to find. Throughout the 1990s, the first edition of The Backyard Astronomer's Guide established itself as the indispensable reference to the equipment and techniques used by the modern recreational stargazer. Now, authors Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer have produced an expanded and completely updated edition that again sets the standard for accessible and reliable information on one of the world's most popular hobbies. With more than 500 colour photographs and illustrations, this is one of the most beautiful and user-friendly astronomy books ever produced. The standard reference for amateur astronomers - fully revised & updated. First published in 1991. Revised first edition published 1994; 10th printing, 2001: ISBN 0-921820-11-9. |
