"In my opinion, a wonderful resource for novices. The guidebook is wisely geared toward beginning astronomers with mediocre equipment in light-heavy situations, people who certainly are going to need some help. I found the maps helpful and easy to follow, and the celestial objects worth looking for. The descriptions are also intriguing, conveying a true passion for the stars and helping me at least appreciate what "swims into my ken." Definately a must for anyone who wants a broader repertoire than the most basic plantets and messier ojbects."
"I will give a better review later. This book is excellent for anyone who has just bought a telescope. Do not buy it unless you have bought one. It gives very clear and concise instructions about finding different stars, constellations and other astronomical sights. it's like an atlas for the night sky. More later."
