Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a beginner's guide to stargazing, written for those looking to explore the night sky without needing to invest in expensive equipment or master complex science. The author acknowledges that many books assume readers already know astronomy's maths and terminology, but this book teaches the reader as they go. It begins with unaided-eye observations and gradually introduces the use of opera glasses, field glasses, and telescopes. The author argues that such equipment greatly expands the observer's options and is more accessible than people think. The book also includes star charts and key maps to help readers identify and track celestial objects. Equipped with this book, and a willingness to look up at night, readers will be able to explore the stars. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
