More Small Astronomical Observatories - (Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy) by Patrick Moore (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Almost all amateur astronomers dream of having a fixed observatory of some sort - it saves a vast amount of time and effort during every observing session - and this book provides the necessary help. It details the methods and techniques employed by non-professional astronomers from all over the world, providing a wonderful resource for anyone wishing to build a small observatory of almost any kind. More Small Astronomical Observatories is a sequel to the earlier Small Astronomical Observatories.

From the Back Cover

A permanent building for any small astronomical telescope is a great asset. Comfort, ease of use and above all being able to spend time actually observing instead of setting up the telescope mean that most amateur astronomers dream of having a fixed site.

The second collection of- mostly amateur- observatories for small telescopes provides yet more ideas along with a wealth of practical information for anyone thinking of building an observatory.
