Simply hold a Mylar viewer at arms length, close to a light bulb, to see this defect.

NightWatch Nightwatch continues its tradition of being the best handbook for the beginning astronomer. Terence Dickinson covers all the problems beginners face, starting with the fact that the night sky does not look the way a modern city-dweller expects. He discusses light pollution, how to choose binoculars and telescopes, how to pronounce the names of stars and constellations, telescope mounts, averted vision, and why the harvest moon looks especially bright. Most of the lovely photographs in the book were taken by amateurs, which gives the section on astrophotography a particularly inspirational gleam. Spiral-bound to lie flat or to fold back undamaged, it's a field guide that pulls its own weight in the field. |

Real Astronomy with Small Telescopes
This book is about using an 80mm
refractor / 90mm Maksutov as more than a "quick look"
instrument, but rather something capable of use as an
introduction to scientific observations. Emphasis is on
measurement and discovery activities rather than on casual
observing. There are two objectives to these activities: to
re-enact the process of discovery and to provide amateur
observers with the knowledge and skill that will help them
make genuine contributions to the field of astronomy. |

Using the Meade ETX More than any other small telescope, the Meade ETX has revolutionized amateur astronomy. Since it was introduced in 1996, it has become the standard by which others are judged, combining low price with optical excellence, a solid mounting, and - with the introduction of the EC models - computerized "GO TO" capabilities. The smallest ETX is a refractor, just 60 mm aperture; the largest is a 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain. But what can you really see well with these remarkable telescopes? Californian amateur Mike Weasner explains how to get the very best from an ETX, what to expect, and even how to photograph what you can view. This book also contains a large number of hints and tips from other ETX users from around the world. If you own or plan to own a Meade ETX, read this book. |
