So you have a small telescope, and you'd like to know what you can see with it? Enough to keep you busy for a lifetime. This compilation of 60 of astronomer Sue French's Small-Scope Sampler columns from Sky and Telescope magazine will get you started on the journey and introduce you to a wealth of deep-sky wonders that will entertain you for years to come. Most of the objects presented in this book are visible in as small as a 4-inch telescope under a moderately dark sky. They include variable and multiple stars, star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies for every month of the year. Wonderfully illustrated with finder charts, sketches, and photographs. Our favorite new book! Softbound, 169 pages.
