Praise for previous editions: 'This is quite possibly the most inviting guidebook ever written to help people with binoculars and small telescopes find, view, understand, and most of all, enjoy everything in the night sky from the Moon and planets to distant star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. And if you think it's only for beginners, think again - every telescope owner should have a copy.' Dennis Di Cicco, Senior Editor, Sky & TelescopePraise for previous editions: 'Turn Left at Orion is an essential guide for both beginners and more experienced amateur astronomers who will find much inside to reinvigorate their passion for the stars. The diagrams are simple, clear and functional, and the text eloquently captures the excitement of observing. Stargazing has never been made so easy, and if you buy just one book on observational astronomy, make sure it's this one.' Keith Cooper, Editor, Astronomy NowPraise for previous editions: 'Since it first appeared in 1989, Turn Left at Orion has been an indispensable guidebook for the amateur astronomer possessing nothing more than a small backyard telescope. This is not only an essential handbook for the novice, it's a useful reference for the seasoned backyard astronomer. Simply put, whatever your level of experience, you must have this book!' Glenn Chaple, Contributing Editor, Astronomy This unique and best-selling guidebook to the night sky shows amateur astronomers how to observe a host of celestial wonders. Its distinct format of object-by-object spreads illustrates how deep-sky objects and planets will actually look in a small telescope, with large pages and spiral binding for ease of use outside.
An Excellent Guide An excellent guide for beginners and useful for experienced sky-gazers, too. The illustrations that show how various deep-sky objects will appear in small, 2" to 4" scopes and medium, 8" to 10" scopes (though why skip the 5" to 6" scopes?) are priceless. This is the sort of thing that everybody needs to see before buying a first scope; too many uninformed T-scope purchasers (for themselves or as gifts for kids) have over-inflated expectations regarding what they'll be able to see with a back-yard scope and are often disappointed. This guide is also outstanding in that it makes it quite easy for novice star-gazers to actually find many interesting objects to view without having to use more complex star charts. Yup, this should have been my first recreational astronomy guide years ago, but glad that I finally got it, now.One of the best astronomy books I have seen. If you are just getting started in astronomy at any level, this is the book for you. I am heavily involved with an astronomy club in my area, and do a lot of public outreach astronomy. And over the years, I have seen a lot of different entry level astronomy books. Of what I have seen, this is the all-around best. It might be a little more expensive than some, but IMHO, it is worth every cent. What makes this book so good? Its great introductory text, which gives a brief but comprehensive overview of what it takes to enjoy the hobby of astronomy. It covers all sorts of viewing-- naked eye, binocular and telescope astronomy. The 'other' best part though, is the star charts. A wide variety of objects to look at, grouped by season, are presented. what sets this catalog apart from many others is the wide variety of objects presented. There are naked eye beginner objects and objects that will challenge even a moderately experienced observer. A selection of southern sky objects is presented as well. There is also a detailed guide to observing the moon, perhaps the best I have seen outside of a book specializing on the moon. Lastly, the book is spiral bound, so it will lie flat on a table while you are observing. Now in its fourth edition, the authors have striven to keep this book up to date. Long story short, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!Great book for an introduction to stargazing I purchased this book to help introduce me to the night sky and viewing through a telescope. My reason for selecting this book in particular was the great reviews left by other readers. This book lives up to its reputation. It provides basic information about stargazing with instructions for sighting objects in the sky during different seasons. It also provides drawings of what you should see in your eyepiece in both a small telescope and a larger telescope. This is a great book for beginners.
