Patrick Moore has painstakingly researched Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars to describe how to use binoculars for astronomical observation. He explains basic astronomy and the selection of binoculars, then discusses the stars, clusters, nebulae and galaxies that await the observer.
Accompanying his excellent BBC TV series, Professor Brian Cox presents his second astronomy guide, Wonders of the Universe, a fascinating hardback that is an insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space. Filled with incredible photography and illustrations, not to mention a large helping of Cox's well explained wisdom, this science and astronomy book takes the evidence that is all around us to explain the simple truths of astrophysics.
No longer are heavy, sturdy, expensive mounts and tripods required to photograph deep space. With today's advances in technology, all that is required is an entry-DSLR and an entry level GoTo telescope.
Are we alone in the Universe? Was there anything before the Big Bang? Are there other universes? What are sunspots? What is a shooting star? Was there ever life on Mars?
Here are clear explanations of how to make superb astronomical deep-sky images using only a DSLR or webcam and an astronomical telescope – no expensive dedicated CCD cameras needed!
