Visual Astronomy In The Suburbs

[Darron]

Anyone read the book Visual Astronomy In The Suburbs by Antony Cooke, is it worth dedicating twenty beer tokens to?

Hi Caz

Amazon, you can flick through a few of the pages online

I have already done that, it is only the first few pages at the begining and the index, just wondered if there is anything to be learnt.

Hi James

The title of this book caught my eye, I thought there might be useful tips in it to help me view from my light polluted garden rather than have to drag the scope a couple of miles away. Just wondered if anyone on here had read it, and there really are techniques for viewing in light polluted areas.

Ouch Tom, feeling for you mate. I did that last year and it wasn't funny, though I did get a fit of the giggles every time I was sat on the bog, never realised how much you use use your ribs until the pain started! The oddness of the situation had me in fits.
