Publisher's Synopsis
Had a telescope sat in the garage for a while?
Want to buy a telescope? Finding learning astronomy and using a telescope frustrating? This light hearted and chatty book is an accessible way to learn all the stuff about beginning amateur astronomy in an approachable, friendly way and covers all the stuff you didn't know or even know you needed to know and is probably why the new telescope for your birthday got consigned to the loft in the first place. Let the Astronomers Hairdryer demystify you with a bunch of hacks and tips that will make the whole process a little easier. (and you'll never guess what we use one for!) . Above all, its an honest take on amateur astronomy from someone who has been doing it for over forty years and will help you get over some of those initial experience humps by talking about the stuff that most experienced astronomers take for granted but no one ever seems to tell a beginner. An essential read if you are looking to buy your first telescope or buy a loved one a telescope for a special occasion. By spending a little now, it may help you to save a lot later.
