Subtitled “A Beginner’s Guide to the Sun, Moon, and Planets,” the book presents a substantial amount of concrete information on what to look at in the sky with binoculars and how to best see it. Chapters cover the Sun, Moon, eclipses, the planets, comets, and meteors. Virtually everything you would want to see in the solar system gets coverage, and appendices highlight bright asteroids visible through binoculars. Numerous photos and illustrations are included, making the book not only enjoyable and informative to read, but also a valuable reference for many later observing sessions.
If you ever use binoculars to look at the night sky, I encourage you to pick up a copy of Steve’s new book. It will become one of your favorites in no time.
