Critic reviews
‘… perfect for anyone looking to start a new hobby or simply have a better understanding of our Universe.’- Firetrench
‘This would make an ideal gift for any beginner to astronomy – recommended.’ Journal of the British Astronomical Association
What I would say is manage your own expectations, this is not my first rodeo and they is a lot of information to read out and get across.
Since I am learning at the moment a lot of the information went over my head but I do know from previous wanders into reference listening that it comes back to you later on when you put it into practice.
There was a little bit of repetition. I definitely know I need a red torch and plenty of warm clothing. (It’s an in joke, you will need to read the book)
All in all, I can recommend this book and I will read it again in the future after I have had a wee look at the stars.
Reference books are always hard to get right

Thank you in anticipation 👍
