![]() If you don’t own any, Binocular Highlights explains what to look for when choosing binoculars for stargazing and provides observing tips for users of these portable and versatile mini-telescopes. In fact, as even experienced stargazers know, to go beyond the naked-eye sky and delve deep into the universe, all you need are binoculars - even the ones hanging unused in your closet. You don’t need fancy or expensive equipment to enjoy the wonders of the night sky. The Millennium Star Atlas was constructed as a collaboration between a team at Sky & Telescope led by Roger Sinnott, and the European Space Agencys. Also included are four seasonal all-sky charts that help locate each highlight. Each object is plotted on a detailed easy-to-use star map, and most of these sights can be found even in a light-polluted sky. This new (2017), expanded edition of Binocular Highlights adds 10 objects to the original edition’s tally to provide a tour of 109 different celestial sights - from softly glowing clouds of gas and dust, to interesting stars, clusters, and galaxies - all visible in binoculars. ![]() Everything you love, all in one place, easy.
