Binocular Astronomy, 2nd Edition
Binocular Astronomy, 2nd Edition goes far deeper than similar books into the varying optical characteristics of binoculars, giving newcomers and advanced astronomers the information needed to make informed
choices on purchasing a pair. It also covers relevant aspects of the physiology of binocular (as in “both eyes”)
observation. The first edition of this book was praised for its suggested objects for observation and especially for the finder charts for each object. In this second edition, this section is expanded in three ways.
There are new objects, more information on each object, and a re-organization of the objects for binoculars for easier selection.
Binocular Astronomy, 2nd Edition puts an emphasis on understanding binoculars and their use. The additional content reflects the latest developments in technology, new testing techniques, and practical ideas
for binocular use. It also responds to the substantially positive reviews of the first edition, and is now even
better suited to its target readership.
It is available in print and Kindle editions.
