Best Telescope manual?
Friend just bought himself a Meade 105 and I would like to buy him a book
that would give him Do's and Dont's for Telescope info. He is ( like myself) a relative novice - but very enthusiastic! Perhaps someone here has got a recommendation for something suitable? TIA Fred |

Perhaps someone here has got a recommendation for something suitable? Not specifically a do's and don'ts but I would recommend 'Turn Left at Orion' as a fantastic where to look and how to find it for novices book. When I started I was overwhelmed by the expanse of it all and the difficulty in finding things, I bought the book for my son and found it invaluable for finding lots of visually impressive stuff easily and with a small scope. -- Ian Newham http://www.IanNewham.com |
