Even modest telescopes such as a small - 3-inch (80mm) - astronomical refractor or Maksutov can provide scientifically useful data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is certainly true, but where to start?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReal Astronomy with Small Telescopes tells you everything you'll need to know about how to get started on \"real\" astronomy using a small telescope (and ideally a digital camera), and make a real contribution to our scientific knowledge. This book is the necessary introduction to real astronomy - derived from the author's many years of experience in teaching the subject - that can be your starting point for serious work. Here, the emphasis is on what you can do with a small telescope, rather than just on what you can see through it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, owners of big telescopes shouldn't be put off - everything in this book applies equally (maybe more equally!) to larger instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45132391284887,"sku":"9781846284786","price":2180.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781846284786.webp?v=1767281825","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/real-astronomy-with-small-telescopes-step-by-step-activities-for-discovery-9781846284786","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
