Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-05 00:00:00 Jeff Burkiewicz This is an old dusty book I got at a used book sale. I picked it up and read a passage about vegetation on Mars. Not the possibility of vegetation, mind you. How could I not love a book like that. The appendices have lots of good information. A good set of maps for finding constellations. I wouldn't tell you to go hunting for this book, but if you have it treasure it.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-28 00:00:00 Paris Nainggolan A good informative book about different types of telescopes, and equipment, but also of some of the usual objects for observations and a variety of techniques for astronomical research.
