Beginner's knowledge, ideas and observation projects for the whole year
This makes it easy to get started in practical astronomy: 52 chapters explain everything amateur astronomers want to know. The content ranges from the basics of the world's oldest science to practical questions about operating a telescope and suggestions for observations for your first galactic experiences. All the important topics for a basic introduction to this exciting hobby are presented in an easy-to-understand and clearly illustrated manner. This book differs from other introductory astronomy books in its practical relevance and comprehensiveness, which are geared towards the actual problems encountered by hobby beginners.
The easy-to-navigate double-page structure makes the book equally suitable as a reference work and as a first guide. "Hobby Astronomer in 4 Steps" offers information on knowledge, equipment, observation and object tips for amateur astronomers and those who want to become one.
