The newest edition of The Backyard Astronomer's Guide includes the latest data and answers the questions most often asked by home astronomers, from beginners to experienced stargazers. Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer provide expert guidance on the right types of telescopes and other equipment; photographing the stars through a telescope; and star charts, software and other references. They cover daytime and twilight observing, planetary and deep-sky observing, and much more. With over 500 color photographs and illustrations, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide is one of the most valuable, beautiful and user-friendly astronomy books ever produced. New and updated for this edition:
Any serious home astronomer must have this superb guide as an ongoing reference. (20030104) Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Backyard Astronomer's GuideI am a tech-savvy (engineer type) new astronomy amateur. This book is an excellent source of information. It is almost a reference book that covers many aspects of amateur astronomy...with real "how to" information. Rating: - Best Book There IsThis is the most complete book for amatuer astronomers. I have read many good books on the subject and have a decent library but The Backyard Astronomer takes first place. Many interesting facts and bits of information are found nowhere else besides the complete knowledge on the subject and its equipment. Rating: - Everything you need to know!Well, almost everything...this shows a beginner everything he needs to know about astronomy, from equipment to nebulae to satellites, however, it doesn't show you how to find anything in the sky. the book has some beautiful charts of the milky way in the back but no indication of how to use them or what are the good targets. a few pages describing what targets to search for and how to find them would be very useful to a beginner. "left turn at Orion" would be a good choice for something like that. ... Read More Rating: - Absolute MUST BUY!This book is absolutely the best written and most information guide I have in my library. The authors are incredibly knowledgable and share their experience in a very understandable manner. The book is very current in terms of technologies, and they've included the latest and greatest technoliges and what to do with them. I particularly like their direct approach to many topics - "While many do it this way, we don't. Here's what we do..." This book is an absolute requirement in every astronomer's library. Rating: - Best Astronomy Book Ever WrittenTo the point: Buy no other. This is THE best book on the subject. Amateur? Professional? Intermediate? Just starting? STOP. This is the book to buy. PERIOD. Is this simple enough?
