Product Description:
A superb guidebook described in Bookwatch as 'the home astronomer's "bible"', Turn Left at Orion provides all the information beginning amateur astronomers need to observe the Moon, the planets and a whole host of celestial objects. Large format diagrams show these objects exactly as they appear in a small telescope and for each object there is information on the current state of our astronomical knowledge. Revised and updated, this new edition contains a chapter with ten new spreads describing spectacular deep sky objects visible from the southern hemisphere, and tips on observing the upcoming transits of Venus. It also discusses Dobsonian telescopes, with hints on using personal computers and the Internet as aids for planning an observing session. Also new to this edition are redrawn "Guidepost" figures at the beginning of each season chapter that allow readers to visualize a three-dimensional view of the sky's dome; redesigned seasonal object layouts that provide more space for the naked-eye charts; a new spread on double stars near Boötes has been added to Spring, replacing the "Shrinking Double" spread; and a unique "When and Where to Look" table has been added to the last page, among other new features. Unlike many guides to the night sky, this book is specifically written for observers using small telescopes. Clear and easy to use, this fascinating book will appeal to skywatchers of all ages and backgrounds. No previous knowledge of astronomy is needed.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - VERY GOOD PURCHASE
Dear sirs,

I live in Brazil, and I was affraid to get products in other country. But I was confident with Amazon.com site content and security. Then I decided to make my first "out-of-the-box" purchase, and I'm astonished with the extremely professional approach of Amazon.com .
My product was delivered 15 days earlier than planned, and in good conditions, including the package.

The book content is very comprehensible, mainly for amateurs, as I am. I'm very satisfied to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE book to start with
For the beginning stargazer, without some sort of guide (either a knowledgable person or a great book), a new telescope is all but useless. Even computerized "go-to" telescopes are surprisingly disappointing; sure, they'll take you straight to the sights, but they won't tell you what magnification to use, or what you're looking for, or whether the thing you're looking for might be too dim for you to see at all, so that most of the time you'll find yourself staring at a bunch of stars and wondering what ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great roadmap for finding nighttime sky objects
This is an excellent book for amateur astronomers who would like direction on exactly where and how to find 100 of the most interesting nighttime sky objects -- nebula, planets, galaxies, double-doubles, star clusters, etc. Be advised that this is not a coffee table book full of breathtaking color photos straight from Hubble or a NASA space probe. This is a book on how to star hop your way from one object to the next. The book is full of drawings that depict how to do this, and the accompanying text is ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
Not a bad book exactly.

But I found it to be a waste of money.
