This is definitely for all you astronomy buffs out there, it's a great tool explaining ways of stargazing with binoculars to telescopes and everything between.
This is one I'll go back to repeatedly for a long time.
Highly recommended.

A very nifty little book - really enjoyed it.

It provides a lot of information about the solar system but without all the jargon and babble that can often make it complicated but that's not what it really makes it the best.

The book talks about the types of equipment you can buy if you want more advanced instruments and it gives advice for the basic types that can be purchased.

The way the author writes makes it really enjoyable, it's almost an infectious way of writing, it's like talking and learning with an old friend. It feels a bit like it's broken down in to manageable chunks of reading to me and that makes it more accessible for me.

We live high up and can see quite a lot on a clear night, it really is a good book and I'll definitely be purchasing this for the shelf!

With thank to Tom Kerss, the publishers and Netgalley for this FREE ARC in return for my review!

Wonderful book, with informative and beautiful pictures. It has an excellent history introduction to star gazing (I especially liked the schematics of the planets and addition of ‘and Pluto’ ). Great explanation of the concept of telescopes and how the filters work. Excellent book for anyone interested in observing our solar system.

What an absolutely fasinating book!

It covers the history of those who made discoveries, observations and inventions. It includes sections on how to observe our night sky, the different types of telescopes and some of the software that is available to download to your computer. The photographs within the book are also interesting to look at.

It gives you information on all the planets and their features, how the planets orbit in our solar system and other phenoma to see such as comets, meteor showers and conjunctions.

If you are looking to photograph the night sky, there is also a section in this book that covers this.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.

This book very much does what it says in the title, provides information all about the solar system, what you can see and what it all means. I really enjoyed this as while the book does tackle the basics it at no point is patronising or condescending. The author’s enthusiasm shines through throughout the pages and it cannot help but be infectious. Information on what you can see in the sky, about the planets, human history of learning about the solar system and apps, programmes, telescopes and camera skills for observation are all covered. What I especially enjoyed while reading this was the finer details. The author explains the origins of words and thoughts, shows how various mathematics are worked out and explains rather than just tells. I can’t wait for winter now and darker nights to put what I’ve learned from this book into practice!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very helpful all-in-one guide to buying and setting up telescopes/binoculars, watching the planets and finally colour-correcting the photographs. It is an excellent book for amateur astronomers who are unsure whether to buy a telescope or a 50mm (or more) binocular for stargazing. I will certainly buy this book once it is published.

Thank you, Netgalley, for providing me with a free copy.
