Covering both homemade and commercial products, this book provides
the reader with simple and straightforward information about the
modeling, building, and use of binoscopes. Binoscopes can be
thought of as binoculars enlarged to the size of telescopes -
essentially, a combination of the two. Constructing a binoscope is
easier than most people think, but it still demands attention to
detail and proper background knowledge. The author goes on to
provide additional information about the products currently on the
market, should the reader choose to purchase one instead of
building it. Lastly, the book also compares binoscopes with
telescopes in great detail, outlining the differences the reader
can expect to see in the night sky from using both. The celestial
views obtained with a binoscope, compared to a single telescope of
the same aperture, are a very different experience. The new edition
emphasizes the obvious advantages of viewing celestial objects
through a binoscope. There are also many new photos and additional
information on the latest equipment and some very special and rare
equipment a collector might be interested in. Newly added cartoons
and additional images of beautiful deep sky objects in each of the
chapters makes reading the book a more enjoyable experience.
Finally, there is a new comet discovery form and guide to follow
for such discoveries, and a complete list of Messier objects for
those interested in searching for these.
