I've got it - it's smashing. It's like a bigger version of Turn Left at Orion if you've seen that. It's got a lot more objects with finding instructions and info, and very conveniently opens flat on a table for reference along side the scope. It's very good value for money imho

[rory]

thanks brantuk. i do indeed own turn left at orion. if its as good or better than that ,then i will be pleased.reviews on amazon seem very possitive too.

[brantuk]

It's a snip at £16 - very good vfm I reckon. There's stuff about imaging, eye pieces, telescopes, etc. Lots more objects than TLAO, all listed by constellation, and there's a lot more info about each object - including diagrams of what you should see and sky maps. We got ours from Amazon too and it deffo won't break the bank
