Grab Your Binoculars and Go!

Exploring the wonders of the cosmos doesn’t require expensive and complicated equipment. The moons of Jupiter, breathtaking nebulae, and distant galaxies are all visible through binoculars! Binocular Highlights: 99 Celestial Sights for Binocular Users By Gary Seronik Binocular Highlights is a tour of 99 different celestial sights — from softly glowing clouds of gas and dust to unusual stars, clumps of stars, and vast star cities (galaxies) — all visible in binoculars. Each object is plotted on a detailed, easy-to-use star map, and most of these NEW sights can be found even in a light-polluted sky. Also included are four seasonal all-sky charts that help locate each highlight. 104 pages, 6 by 9 inches, spiralbound, softcover.
