Reviews

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

An engaging introduction to binocular astronomy, which is probably the best way for a newbie to get acquainted with the higher-magnitude features of the night sky.

I wasn't quite as impressed w/ this as I think I should have been. There are some nice descriptions of the neat things you can see, but more info on binoculars (design, use, tips, etc.) would have been helpful. The section on lunar landscapes is particularly interesting.
