In current Internet age, times have changed and most (but not quite all) telescopes have been used to favorable results. Sir Patrick Moore, working with John Watson, has surveyed and tested the best and the worst of today's budget-priced astronomical telescopes. This new edition of Astronomy with a Budget Telescope is the result of their efforts. This book will show you how to recognize the good from the bad in observational ware with essential hints and tips on what to look for when buying both new and used telescopes. Updated and expanded, this latest edition includes budgeting tips for the new generation of digital cameras and 'go-to' telescopes. It provides a step-by-step guide to setting up your telescope, and how to observe the Moon, Sun, planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Inside you'll find full-page finder charts and full-color images showing you what each object should look like. Astronomy with a Budget Telescope, 2nd Edition, is the complete introduction to buying and using a low-cost amateur astronomical telescope! 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a522.2 700 $aMoore$b Patrick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$012221 702 $aWatson$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790151903321 996 $aAstronomy with a Budget Telescope$93809219 997 $aUNINA
