50 Things to See With a Telescope

A young stargazer's guide

by John A. Read

Identify constellations, planets, and stars with this beginner's guide to 50 things to see in the night sky.

John A. Read covers everything needed to identify constellations, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and more. Inquisitive stargazers will find planet hunting and star hopping easy with clearly plotted routes and images of the sky both as seen by the naked eye and detailed views from a telescope.

Many fascinating cosmic objects can be easily spotted with the help of this book including beautiful Cassiopeia, regal Leo, the plentiful Kemble's Cascade, the explosive Crab Nebula, the rings of Saturn — even the moon!

This easy to read, fully illustrated reference book will enrich every young person's experience of the skies above.
