Philip's Stargazing with Binoculars is a practical guide that describes the wide range of objects that can be observed in the night sky using normal binoculars. Binoculars provide a great start in astronomy
- compared with telescopes, they are comparatively cheap & easy to use, are light & compact, & can be used for many other activities such as birdwatching. But when you are out there on a starry night, how do you know what to look at? What are the best objects to observe through binoculars? Just how much can you see, & what are the tips & tricks for getting the most out of them? Philip's Stargazing with Binoculars reveals what to expect from a pair of binoculars & how to choose the right ones if you are buying for the first time, or upgrading. It gives straightforward explanations of how they work & how to progress from first-time user to hobby observer, giving practical help for setting up & using any binoculars. Aimed principally at newcomers to astronomy of all ages, Philip's Stargazing with Binoculars describes a wide range of binoculars & accessories that are internationally available, with examples of objects to observe taken from both northern & southern hemispheres. A glossary of technical terms & an index are included, making it even easier for the beginner to use & understand binoculars.

A one-stop introduction to how to do astronomy in the digital age. Thanks to modern technology, there is no longer a daunting boundary for those of us who wish to experience what it is like to actually do astronomy. Starting with a simple camera & laptop, it is possible to create beautiful images of the stars & the Moon, & perhaps, with a larger lens, to capture the rings of Saturn or the Moons of Jupiter. Add a modern telescope with superb optics & computer control, & many amateur astronomers are now producing breathtaking images of planets & remote galaxies that only a decade ago were the exclusive province of astronomers with access to professional telescopes. Stargazing: The Digital Astronomer explains the principles of astronomy as well as the practical techniques to provide both beginners & more experienced observers with all the information they need to understand & enjoy the wonders of the night sky
- & to capture & share the resulting images.
