Stargazing with Binoculars
Among the many good books on binocular astronomy, Stargazing with Binoculars stands out as one of the best. Veteran astronomy writer Robin Scagell and new author David Frydman pack an amazing amount of information into a volume that's clearly written, entertaining, attractive, and portable.... Stargazing has excellent, detailed chapters on choosing and using binoculars, complete with descriptions and photographs of specific models. The material is up to date to 2008... By any standard, Stargazing is a serious contender for the title of best all-around introduction to binocular astronomy. Several books cover the deep sky as well or better, but few have such good discussions of solar-system observing and equipment selection, and hardly any are as up-to -date with modern technology. (Tony FlandersSky & Telescope2008-10-00)This is a handy-dandy guide to heavenly viewing by using--what the authors dub--"the poor person's telescope." ....This 208-page book is packed with easy to use star maps, as well as a month-by-month guide to the best objects to study. So latch onto a copy of the practical guide and step outside for a sky full of enjoyment. (Coalition for Space Exploration.com2009-01-16)
