Review This delightful book covers the 50 things to see and some of them are:’North Star, Venus, Orion Nebula, Mars, Jupiter, The Milky Way, Comets, theInternational Space Station, and even birds’. Just a fascinating read for mewhich I will go back and refer to after my telescope is purchased. At the endof the book there are schedules for total solar eclipses and Constellationmaps for the Northern Hemisphere. I would say that this is an excellent aswell as educational book for all ages! – Top 500 Amazon ReviewerI have readmany astronomy books and I have to say this one is special. It is fun to readwith very useful navigation sky charts pinpointing the targets relative to thestar patterns. The book doesn’t give false expectation of visual astronomy byshowing colorful DSO images. The whole presentation is simple but concise.Best if one can make reference to Stellarium or SkySafari as reading along. Avirtual sky tour! Very outstanding book indeed. – Amazon Customer (anonymousreview of the Southern Hemisphere edition)As a complete beginner with atelescope, I found this book to be very helpful. It is very simple to read andthe celestial locations are detailed and easy to spot. The book will open youup to a whole universe of beautiful galaxies and nebulae, when you’re ready togo beyond just the moon and planets. Seeing the Andromeda Galaxy, Crab Nebula,Orion, Bodies and the Cigar Galaxy were spectacular, utilizing this book.-Amazon Customer Read more From the Author 50 Things to See with a SmallTelescope is available in the following languages:EnglishFrenchSpanishPortugueseGermanHindiJapaneseDutchRussianItalianPleaseclick on the Author’s page link to view these international editions.A specialSouthern Hemisphere Edition is also available for those living south of theequator.
