Binocular Highlights Book: 99 Celestial Sights
Reviewer: Matt Wedel
I got this book to use with binoculars
but I find that I use it even more often
with my grab-and-go scope. The 99 best
binocular sights are also the best
targets for rich-field telescopes like
the ShortTube 80 and StarBlast. The
maps
are clear and easy to read, with one
object per page, and the pages lay flat
for easy use in the field thanks to the
spiral binding. Everyone knows that the
best telescope is the one that shows you
the most. The same goes for observing
guides, and this one is a no-brainer. I
grab my scope, grab this book, and in
five minutes I am off to see the best
and brightest deep sky objects in any
season. Highly recommended!
