This book is aimed at the beginner who has either just bought a telescope for astronomy or who wants to buy one. It gives help in choosing a telescope by explaining the jargon in the ads and detailing the points to look for depending on your own circumstances. There are chapters that explain how to set it up and find your first objects in the sky, and then develop your interest by buying accessories. There is a list of objects to observe from all locations.
