Book Reviews of Binocular Stargazing

Book Review: Good Reference
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this book as a gift for my husband. He was not extremely impressed but did mention that it was a handy book for reference on our frequent camping trips. I think most would enjoy it but it is a bit deep for me.

Summary of Binocular Stargazing

Many people assume that amateur stargazers must invest hundreds or even thousands of pounds in equipment before they can enjoy the wonders of the night sky. The truth is, though, that all you need is a simple pair of binoculars. This handy, easy-to-follow guide explains how to observe everything from the moon to meteor showers with binoculars and provides safety tips for viewing eclipses. It also includes separate sections for winter, spring, summer, and fall that give advice on what to look for and how to optimise your viewing. Ideal for budding astronomers of all ages, this book is the perfect way to see the night sky through new eyes.
