Review
a useful beginners guide to the binocular sky. Sky and Telescope Binocular astronomy is currently enjoying something of a renaissance, so it is a pleasure to see this new edition of Patrick Moores super book, which helped usher in the new era when it was originally published in 1987. Since then, this has been the introduction to the night sky that Ive recommended more than any other If you know of someone whose enthusiasm for the night sky has been inspired, perhaps by recent views of Comet Hyakutake, I can think of no better gift than a pair of binoculars and a copy of this excellent book. Brian Kelly, The Observatory
This book would be a good buy for someone new to astronomy as it covers all aspects of observational work at a fairly basic level and would continue to be a useful information source for many years to come. Linda Roberton, Astronomy Now
This is the third edition of this useful book ... It is written in Patrick Moores well-known, easy-to-read, personal style ... This book is a good general introduction to the night sky using binoculars and it should encourage the reader to go and look for themselves. Alan Dowdell, Webb Society Reviews
Product Description
On a clear, starry night, the jewelled beauty and unimaginable immensity of our Universe is awe-inspiring. Star-gazing with binoculars is rewarding and may begin a lifelong hobby! Patrick Moore has painstakingly researched Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars to describe how to use binoculars for astronomical observation. He explains basic astronomy and the selection of binoculars, then discusses the stars, clusters, nebulae and galaxies that await the observer. The sky seen from northern and southern hemispheres is charted season by season, with detailed maps of all the constellations. The reader can also observe the Sun, Moon, planets, comets and meteors. With many beautiful illustrations, this handbook will be helpful and encouraging to casual observers and those cultivating a more serious interest. The enjoyment of amateur astronomy is now available to everybody.
