Many midrange and high end telescopes come on equatorial mounts. These mounts are fantastic for tracking celestial objects. Someone who wanted to take pictures of objects in the night sky might even say they are required for all but the most basic astrophotography. The problem is that they can also be unintuitive and require some knowledge to use. Until now, in order to obtain all the knowledge needed to leverage an equatorial mount to its full potential you would have had to compile information from a variety of sources and attempt to mesh them together. Specifically written with the beginner in mind, this book highlights over sixty objects easily found and observed in the night sky. Objects such as:Stunning multiple stars Star clusters Nebulae And the andromeda galaxy! This book will provide you with concise informative guides to avoid the pitfalls and misleading marketing when purchasing a telescope or other beginner astronomy equipment for yourself or others. This is not a buyer's guide for specific makes and models of equipment because such guides become quickly outdated and useless. This book will teach you how to determine for yourself what equipment best suites your needs.
