Hands-On Astronomy Bewertungen

'... if you are new to astronomy and just want a pocket crash course in astronomical e quipment, this may be the book for you ... an ideal beginners pocket book on astronomical equipment that is well illustrated, easy to read, attractively presented and inexpensive.' Martin Mobberley, Journal of the British Astronomical Association
'The book begins with a brief history of astronomical instruments, which makes interesting reading, but far more striking are the beautiful illustrations on the opening pages. I found this book to be an excellent guide and a good read for anyone considering investing in a telescope, or even just curious about them. You can open any page and just start there, then skip back and forth through the book as you wish. It provides a very good introduction to astronomical equipment that answers many questions for the beginner, and could certainly be referenced repeatedly. In short, it contains a lot of well-presented information in a small space.' Astronomy and Space
