It was on ce said that 'the night sky always looks much the same'.In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. There are 365 days in each year (366 in a Leap Year!), and from an astronomical point of view no two are alike.What I aim to do, in this book, is to go through a complete year and point out some special items of interest for each night.It may be a double star, a vari- able star or a nebula; it may be a planet, or even the Moon in some particular aspect - there is plenty of variety. (Anyone unfamiliar with astronomical terms should consult the Glossary at the end ofthis book. ) Let it be said at once that you do not need a large and expensive telescope.A surprising amount can be seen with the naked eye, and binoculars give increased range; indeed, it is probably fair to say that good binoc- ulars are ideal for the beginner, and are far better than very small telescopes.Telescopes are of two types: refractors, and reflectors.A refractor collects its light by means of a glass lens known as an object-glass (OG); the light passes down the telescope tube and is brought to focus, where an image is formed and is then magnified by a second lens, termed an eyepiece.; PDF; Scientific, Technical and Medical > Astronomy, space & time, Springer London<
