You'll be surprised how much you can see even through basic binoculars, once you know where to look. So there are lists of objects that can be viewed month by month, with actual descriptions of what they look like through binoculars. Specially drawn maps show you how to find the objects once you have picked out the basic constellations. And we don't just tell you – we use drawings actually made using binoculars of deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies so you know what to expect.
Many objects in the solar system, from the Moon to comets, are spectacular through binoculars, and these are covered as well.
And of course there are chapters that tell you how to choose and use binoculars, and what the technical terms mean.
