A wonderful "gadget" as a surprise for a loved one, as a Christmas present (or even for Santa Claus?) and as a useful accessory for a hobby that should be successful. A little thing that brings a lot of joy.

This proven classic, which has sold tens of thousands of times, is now in its fifth edition. Designed for the telescope novice, it provides a unique printed step-by-step guide to using an astronomical telescope.

How do I use my telescope? Which eyepieces are useful? How do I locate an astronomical object? What is meant by “Lambda Peak-to-Valley”?

This book provides beginner-friendly answers to questions about the optics, mechanics and use of an astronomical telescope. For the first time, all important definitions and formulas for telescope technology have been summarized without confusing the user with long texts. The spiral binding makes the book ideal for use right next to the telescope - a companion that no beginner's instrument should be without.
