Great for kids or amateur star gazer

Perfect size to easily bring with me on my star gazing adventures. Plenty of illustrations and basic information. My kids also enjoy it as it is easy to read and to the point. This book isnt chalked full with all the star info you can imagine, but it includes the basics and the description on this product didnt claim otherwise.

Just the Book!

Just the Book I bought with my Mother, in Colombo, in 1964, steering me to Astronomy for ever. Now for the next generation ...

Old, somewhat outdated star charts, but fantastic information otherwise!

This is one of the first books I read when I took up Astronomy as a hobby, 20+ years ago. It is full of practical, useful information for the amateur astronomer, covering different types of optics (newtonian, dobsonian, and schmidt-cassegrain reflectors, as well as refractors), including how to calculate magnification with different objectives and eyepieces. It contains a basic introduction to solar observing, with proper precautions to avoid blinding yourself, astro-photography techniques, some basic star charts, information on lunar viewing, deep-sky viewing, etc. This book is a classic on the subject of astronomy, and one that I hope never goes out of print. It was the single most useful astronomy book I had during my 5+ years of enjoying the hobby. I actually bought another copy as a gift for my nephew who was interested in astronomy. Buy it, if you want a superb introduction, covering a wide range of topics within this fascinating hobby. Cheers!
