Product Description John A. Read covers everything needed to identify constellations, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and more. Inquisitive stargazers will find planet hunting and star hopping easy with clearly plotted routes and images of the sky both as seen by the naked eye and detailed views from a telescope. Many fascinating cosmic objects can be easily spotted with the help of this book including beautiful Cassiopeia, regal Leo, the plentiful Kemble's Cascade, the explosive Crab Nebula, the rings of Saturn -- even the moon! This easy to read, fully illustrated reference book will enrich every young person's experience of the skies above. A previous version of this book called "50 Things to See with a Telescope - kids" is also available. Review "I love astronomy and found Read's book absolutely amazing. The inclusion of actual photos taken by the author brought the book closer to what the backyard astronomer will find. Filled with star facts, hints on finding it, and wonderful background images makes this book enjoyable and inspirational to any reader." ( NetGalley) "Read is a telescope evangelist, producing books and videos aimed at inspiring people to 'see what the sky has to offer.'" ( Atlantic Books Today) "It was helpful, practical, and came with great pictures. It is a short book aimed at amateur stargazers and children and I would definitely recommend this book to those groups. I am a pre-amateur stargazer with young children and I cant wait to show them this book and look for constellations together." (Christine Edgar (Librarian) NetGalley) "Anyone who can get out to the dark countryside and marvel at the night sky on a clear night will find 50 Things To See With a Telescope an invaluable guide." (Val Ken Lem, librarian Canadian Review of Materials) A strong book for junior astronomers who have a new telescope.
