First aid for your first telescope! Without any prior knowledge, all typical beginner questions are explained clearly and comprehensively:
- How do you set up the telescope?
- How do you operate the mount?
- What are eyepieces for?
- How do I find astronomical objects?
The text and illustrations are based on current, inexpensive Chinese telescopes as offered on eBay, in online shops and at discount stores. The most popular models 60/700, 60/900, 70/700, 70/900, 114/900, 114/1000 from the brands Bresser, Celestron, Dörr, Galaxster, Omegon, Seben and Teleskop-Service are discussed in detail, with tips on operation, optimisation and useful accessories.
The book is accompanied by the website www.teleskop1x1.de with additional material.
Our expert comment:
The 80-page beginner's manual Telescope ABC corresponds to the
content of the telescope 1x1. So if you already have the Telescope ABC in your
order should choose a different book.
Useful is e.g. the Sky Year
Himmelsjahr
or the atlas for sky observers by Erich Karkoschka
Atlas for sky observers
(Bernd GĂ€hrken)
