Synopses & Reviews
Unlike in the past, many of today's inexpensive mail-order catalog telescopes provide excellent value and are proving to be useful instruments. Astronomy with a Mail-Order Telescope provides useful information on some of the available models, along with detailed and essential hints and tips about what to look for when buying. The second part of the book describes how best to use the telescope, which celestial objects to observe (with full-page star charts to help find them), what you can expect to see, and how to take (and even computer enhance) astronomical photographs.
