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.
