Hi Robin,
For a new starter I will always recommend "Turn left at Orion". It's a great practical observing book and written for small telescope users by an enthusiastic author. It will take you through many interesting objects visible in each of the 4 seasons, and show you how to find them, tell you what they are, and it includes drawings of what they look like through the eyepiece. Check out Amazon.co.uk for reviews, etc. Best wishes and clear, dark skies. -- /Paul B, York, UK. http://homepages.tesco.net/paul.buglass/astrohome.htm "Robin Norton" wrote in message ... I appreciate recommendations of useful books on practical amateur astronomy for someone with a basic 60mm refractor. Also any useful websites. Thanks RN |
