50 Things to See with a Small Telescope
by John A. Read
If you're inspired to find out
more about the sky and the
stars, John Read's book 50
Things to See with a Small
Telescope, is the book for you.
This colorful edition explores
the constellations with young
readers, guiding them to
dozens of galaxies, nebulae,
and star clusters. Every page
features a helpful "telescope
view," showing exactly how
objects appear through a
small telescope or binoculars.
It's a great guide for how to
use telescopes and explore
the night sky. Even without a
telescope, this provides a useful introduction to star gazing.

what you're looking for.
