They might be beginners, or they may have already owned and used an astronomical telescope for a year or more. Newcomers are almost always wowed by sights such as the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, but have little idea how to find these objects for themselves (with the obvious exceptions of the Sun and Moon). They also need guidance about what equipment to use, besides a telescope. This book is written by an expert on the Solar System, who has had a lot of experience with outreach programs, which teach others how to make the most of relatively simple and low-cost equipment. That does not mean that this book is not for serious amateurs. On the contrary, it is designed to show amateur astronomers, in a relatively light-hearted?and math-free way?how to become serious. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy$xObservations 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 607 $aSolar system 607 $aSolar system$vObservers' manuals 607 $aSolar system$2fast 608 $aHandbooks, manuals, etc.$2fast 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy$xObservations. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 676 $a523.2 700 $aClark$b Jane$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792861 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300427203321 996 $aViewing and Imaging the Solar System$91773135 997 $aUNINA
