Practical Astronomy
This practical illustrated guide is the ideal introduction to observational astronomy. The first half, 'Beginning Astronomy', explains where, when and how to observe, what equipment to use (whether with the naked eye, binoculars or a small telescope), and how to record your observations, The second section, 'Exploring the Sky', looks in more detail at all the objects the amateur can view, from objects in our solar system to deep sky ojects. It includes lists of interesting observational targets. The book is illustrated with more than 150 colour images, a moon map and two sets of star maps by Wil Tirion. The author is a former president of the British Atronomical Association.
