 Good book for starters December 8, 2008
D. Hentze (Staten Island via NJ)
This is a good, basic book on what you're looking at in the sky. The spiral bound book has numerous charts, for different times of the year. It also has advice on purchasing binoculars, and 4 foldout star charts for different months of the year. It's a good book for someone starting out in astronomy.

Binocular Highlights by Gary Seronik is exactly what I expected it to be.
I find that it is a perfect companion with The Pocket Sky Atlas. As a
binocular user, I find it quite helpful in selecting objects to look for
during a particular season. Gary's descriptions of the objects he high-
lighted are easy to read.

 Just what we expected. September 9, 2008
Daniel S. Farkas
Binoculars are our start into star gazing. We wanted to try the lesser cost method of viewing the stars before selecting a telescope. This book helps greatly in locating the stars and planets. We plan to purchase a "go to" telescope to take the guess work out of the locating. But for now, this book and our Nikon 10 x 50 binoculars, will suffice.
Good for telescopes, too May 14, 2008

Although the book is aimed at binocular observers, it also makes a nice, portable "best of the sky" guide for people with small telescopes or anyone just starting out with a telescope. It's particularly attractive for those of us who like to take a telescope when we travel. Travel telescopes are usually small, and often we're using them to show the wonders of the sky to interested friends, relatives, or fellow travelers. That means that most of the time we're going to be looking at the best and brightest celestial objects, and the 99 chosen here are a great start for experienced observers and probably all that newcomers will need for a while. The book folds flat and has just one or two objects per page so it's easy to use and not at all intimidating or overwhelming. I like it better as a telescopic observing guide than many of the guides written just for telescope users.

I thought it would have information about planets. Very difficult to understand unless you really know what you're doing.
