Telescopes: A Fun and Rewarding Hobby for Everyone (Illustrated)

by Martin L. Trimble

Overview

The telescope: just because you probably won't become an astronaut and fly into space doesn't mean you can't explore space with a telescope. Telescopes are fun, educational, rewarding, and inexpensive. For a few hundred dollars, you and your family can view the wonders of the universe. You don't need a thousand-dollar telescope for you and your children to have fun; you can buy a kit very inexpensively, and, you can even build your own with very little trouble and money. This book tells you about everything you need to know to get started exploring space, from the history of telescopes to how to buy or build one.
