Turn Left at Orion:

A Hundred Night Sky Objects to See in a Small Telescope — and How to Find Them!

This is a guidebook for beginning amateur astronomers. The moon, planets and nearly a hundred deep sky objects visible in the northern hemisphere are shown exactly as they appear in a small telescope (50-75 mm, or 2-3 inches aperture).

The book gives all the information you need to find these and other objects in the night sky.

There are plenty of maps and the large format drawings accurately depict what you can expect to see.

Unlike many guides to the night sky, this one is specifically written for observers using small telescopes.

No previous knowledge of astronomy is needed, and since the descriptions are non-technical, skywatchers of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy and learn from this book.

Great for all ages
Reviewed By: Larry  (Berkeley Heights, New Jersey)
You'd be selling this book short if you're thinking that this is just another child's "sky book". Children and beginners usually concentrate their energies on the moon or the brighter planets. If you want to go beyond that then this is your book. This book will easily help you locate a number of Messier objects that you would have previously thought were impossible to see. The book also gives you accurate drawings of what objects actually look like thru the scope as opposed to some observatory image that you'd never really see. A "must have" book if you want to expand your viewing from the moon into deep space!

Easy reading
Reviewed By: Wayne Yee (New York, NY)
This is easy reading for such a complicated subject. I loved the little personal stories included. I would have also preferred a summary table to explain key symbols rather than having to read the text to try to fiiguire them out.
