Stargazing for Dummies is a practical beginner's guide that answers all the basic questions that beginners ask in an easy-to-understand way:
- "How do I find the right telescope?"
- "How do I use a telescope?"
- "How do I find my way around the sky?"
Once you have found the right equipment and learned how to orient yourself in the sky, astronomer Steve Owens will guide you through the year and explain when you can observe which stars.
The author Steve Owens is an astronomer. He was director of the Glasgow Planetarium from 2004 to 2008, organised the International Year of Astronomy in the United Kingdom in 2009 and now works as an author and organiser of stargazing events.
