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.
