The Cambridge Guide to Stargazing with Your Telescope
Scagell, Robin
If you want to know how to choose the right telescope for your needs, The Cambridge Guide to Stargazing with Your Telescope is the guide for you. Robin Scagell gives straightforward explanations of how they work and of how one can progress from first-time user to skilled observer. He offers practical help for setting up and using any telescope and provides lists of objects to look at with different telescope sizes, including the Sun, Moon and planets, comets, asteroids, star clusters, variable and double stars, supernovae, nebulae and galaxies. Aimed principally at newcomers to astronomy, of all ages, this indispensable resource describes the full range of internationally available telescopes, with examples of objects to observe taken from both hemispheres, appropriate for all observing conditions. It also imparts advice about accessories, such as eye-pieces and filters, as well as suggestions for telescope photography and choice of camera and film type.
