This comprehensive work takes you on a personal tour of the universe
using nothing more than a pair of binoculars. More comprehensive than
any book currently available, it starts with Earth's nearest neighbor,
the moon, and then goes on to explore each planet in the solar system,
asteroids, meteors, comets and the sun. Following this, the reader is
whisked away into deep space to explore celestial bodies including stars
that are known and many sights less familiar. The final chapter includes
a detailed atlas of deep-sky objects visible through binoculars. The
appendices include guidance on how to buy, care for and maintain
astronomical binoculars, tips and hints on using them, and detailed
information on several home-made binocular mounts.
