"A useful and very practical book for the amateur astronomer starting with a first scope." The Astronomer
"...accurate, and perhaps surprising, portrayal of [a small telescope's] fine capabilities ... one of the great strengths is the obvious enthusiasm of the contributors ... ideas and concepts explained well ... an inspiring book [that] would make an excellent purchase." Popular Astronomy
"To the author’s credit, much of the information within these chapters is applicable to any telescope with an aperture similar to the one discussed ... worth adding to a library’s collection ... very helpful ... readers will appreciate the convenience of having all of this information in one well written and easy to read book." E-streams
"In this book real amateur astronomers tell you what they like, how they observe, what tips they have learned, and modifications they have made to improve their telescopes. (...) Taken as a whole, this book provides a lot of useful information no matter what size and type of telescope you use. (...) ...nearly every chapter describes what can be observed and HOW to observe various types of celestial objects. In particular, the chapter on deep sky observing is applicable to all small telescopes (and even larger ones)." Astronomy Book Reviews
