Who are these people who brave the cold, ice and snow and turn night into day? How did they get into this unusual hobby and what keeps them going?
This book portrays 16 ambitious stargazers, including the well-known radio and television presenter and science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar, who runs his own observatory in his garden. With their different interests and motivations, characters and life stories, this book paints a unique picture of stargazers and their scene, which in many ways is different from the usual clichés.
Along the way, readers gain an impression of the many possibilities offered by this fascinating hobby. All kinds of tips and the avoidance of overly technical details make the book particularly interesting for beginners and inspire them to embark on their own journeys into the vastness of the cosmos.
Bernd Gährken, consultant at Astroshop.de , author and well-known amateur astronomer, is featured in this book.
