Review Summary
Sky aficcionado Phil Harrington describes over 1,100 stars, clusters, galaxies, and nebulae visible with medium and large binoculars. Objects are arranged by constellation. Additional chapters cover binocular viewing of the Sun, Moon, planets, and asteroids. Star charts not included. 294 pages, 7 by 10 inches, hardbound.
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.
