Böcker av Patrick Moore

Astronomy with a Budget Telescope, 2nd Edition is a complete introduction to buying and using a low-cost amateur astronomical telescope.

This 2000 Edition of Sir Patrick Moore's classic book has been completely revised in the light of changes in technology. Packs a great deal of valuable information into appendices which make up almost half the book. This is probably the only book in which all this information is collected in one place.

This book contains everything the amateur astronomer needs to know about eclipses, including: what to look for, when and how to observe, what equipment is needed, and even how to mount an eclipse expedition.

When I became the producer of the Sky at Night in 2002, I was given some friendly advice: "It's a quiet little programme, not much happens in astronomy." How wrong they were!

Patrick Moore's painstakingly researched book will help and encourage both casual and serious observers of our awe-inspiring universe. Sections on basic astronomy, selection of binoculars, detailed constellation maps and descriptions of stars, comets and galaxies are included in this beautifully illustrated manual.
