EXPLORING THE MOON THROUGH
BINOCULARS AND SMALL TELESCOPES
by E.H. Charrington, Jr.
It is astonishing how much detail can be observed on the surface of the moon with a good pair of binoculars (7x50), or a small telescope of moderate quality. Features as small as five miles across can be observed. This is a night-by-night guide to observing the moon during its monthly cycle. You learn exactly when and where to look for hundreds of fascinating features. It is supplimented by a wealth of illustrations and photos, some taken by lunar orbiters as well as from observatories. So it is recommended that after learning the constellations for navigation purposes, one may wish to go the next step further with binoculars and the moon, and this is the perfect book to do it with.
