If you have large binos, don't miss this book

This book covers +1000 deep sky objects plus solar system objects for binoculars. It includes many faint objects that can be seen with ordinary binos under very favourable conditions so the observers with large binoculars can use this book better. Although there are +1000 objects given in the book, most of them are not explained but rather their basic data like coordinates and magnitude are given. It does not have maps so you need an atlas with this book. However; this book is very useful with its tabulated data and constellation-based organisation. You cannot find any other complete and well prepared list and data of objects visible in binoculars. The author also groups Messier objects into 4 difficulty groups which is helpful for inexperienced observers.

Practical tips for the novice stargazers, handy reference

This book is a great way for someone to develop a life-long interest in stargazing. The author has obviously acquired his knowledge first-hand, and passes along practical advice and a passion for the hobby. This book also holds up as a field and desk reference. In my house it is on the shelf next to my red flashlight and 7x50's, ready for a clear night.
