Half-hours with the Telescope
Richard Anthony Proctor
On a clear night the sky becomes the greatest natural spectacle of all. Richard Proctor's classic guide shows how to use a small telescope, plate by plate, to find planets, stars, and the wonders beyond. Friendly, practical instruction for the beginning stargazer. For anyone who has ever pointed a lens upward and wanted to know what they were seeing. Spend an evening with the stars.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
