But as novice stargazers progress, they want to know what more there is than looking at faint fuzzy blobs or indistinct planet markings. Many novices jump to the conclusion wrongly that they need to spend lots of money on expensive equipment to progress. From Casual Stargazer to Amateur Astronomer has been written specifically to address this group of budding amateur astronomers. Astronomy is much more than a quick sightseeing tour. Patient observers who develop their skills will start to appreciate what they are seeing, knowing exactly what to look out for on any particular night. Equally important, they will learn what not to expect to see. This guide is for those who want to develop their observing skills beyond mere sightseeing, learning some of the techniques used to carry out enjoyable and scientifically useful observations. It will also direct readers to information to make informed choices about what can be seen and when. All beginners who are keen to develop their skills as an amateur astronomer can profit from the advice and gain much more from their time out observing. 000723049 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 21, 2013). 000723049 650_0 $$aAstronomy$$vAmateurs' manuals. 000723049 830_0 $$aPatrick Moore's practical astronomy series. 000723049 852__ $$bebk 000723049 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4614-8766-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000723049 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:723049$$pGLOBAL_SET 000723049 980__ $$aEBOOK 000723049 980__ $$aBIB 000723049 982__ $$aEbook 000723049 983__ $$aOnline 000723049 994__ $$a92$$bISE
