50 Targets for the Mid-Sized Telescope

I was drawn to this book by the photo of Explore Scientific AR102 scope on the cover. I recently bought this little scope at a discount. It's not my only telescope, but this serves very well as my Grab 'n Go. The 50 targets in the book are well chosen. They are proper for this kind of scope and not completely overlap with other books on the market (say, any of them mentioned the Lunar X?) One problem though is that the author seems to use color inverted photos pretending to be "sketches" to show what you can expect at the eyepiece. This could be misleading, cuz many of the objects won't be resolved that well with anything under 8". Also, it doesn't say the size of the object and what magnification is the best. Some more detailed information could be helpful. Well, this is not Turn Left At Orion and doesn't meant to compete with it. For the price, it serves its purpose and I am happy with this purchase.

Excellent reference book for comprehensive “Go To “ applications for finding celestial wonders!Well written, informative and understandable.

While there is certainly lots of valuable information in this book, I don't think it's a good value for cost in relation to content. It's a very thin paperback. If there's a chance to buy that as a digital version for much less I think that's the way a buyer should go.good book but it should really be selling based on its limited number of pages for maybe $5.95 or $7.95 not nearly twelve bucks for something this sparse.

Picks up where 50 things to see with a small telescope left off. A great item to keep your love of astronomy going in an fun and accessible way.

This book has given me so many more things to look for each night that I go out to see the stars. It has opened up a new world in things that I can photograph and enjoy.

Contains some objects that I'd not known about. Fairly easy reading - informative. I want to get a bigger 'scope, 8" or 9", so I hope the author writes a book for large size telescopes.

This book is great for anyone who has a telescope and is interested in seeing some of the most interesting objects in our universe. What I also love about this book are the star maps for the seasons. Buy this book and enjoy. Clear skies.

Great book for mid-sized telescope owners! Clear and practical advice.

very informing

Very high priced compared to useful details.

Excellent book for the novice star gazer.
