Overview
- Photographs on many interesting and astronomical objects and starfields are photographed to show how they would look through different sizes of amateur telescope, providing the reader with a reference against which to judge the effectiveness of his own equipment and observing techniques.
- Photographs also show the severe effects of light-polluted skies, and illustrate major constellations as seen from a range of observing sites.
- This is of great help to the observer, particularly the newcomer who may find it hard to locate specific stars in the night sky.
