Reviews

From the reviews: This volume is so crammed with information that the index is a very welcome addition. ! This provides you with a rich background about objects you can see ! . It ! deals with the constellations, giving charts, photos and informative text describing the binocular delights within. (Mark Parrish, Sky at Night Magazine, April, 2010) Book such as this , subtitled '250+ wonderful sky objects to see and explore' , will attract the attention of many a skygazer. ! I expect that many potential readers will wonder, as I did, how much of this material is truly necessary in a book supposedly aimed at users of 10 Ao 50 binoculars. ! It is undoubtedly an impressive achievement ! . As if to underline this, the book ends with a list of basic objects for beginners ! . (Ian Ridpath, The Observatory, Vol. 130, August, 2010)
