الوصف
Fun With Telescopes! is an introductory, practical guide to understanding telescopes and getting the most out of them. It begins with a history of telescopes and explains how they work, including refractors and reflectors, magnification, and key optical ideas like aperture, focal length, and resolution. The book then moves into buying considerations—what to look for in a first telescope, how to choose eyepieces and mounts, and how to handle basics like terminology and celestial coordinates. Readers also learn how to observe objects such as planets, comets, nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters, and how to capture images through astrophotography basics. The guide includes sections on building simple telescopes, using kits, and choosing accessories, making it geared toward beginners and hobbyists.

had invented to look at the stars in the night sky. Suddenly, this well known and familiar place
revealed itself as a barely exposed mystery. It was then that Galileo knew this was a ground
breaking device.
The moon is a gray-white orb to the naked eye. Looking through this new instrument, Galileo
was able to see shadows and bright spots on the surface of the moon. He could see that the
moon also had mountains and valleys.
At the time, the planets were thought to be odd stars that “wandered” the sky. Through
Galileo’s device, he could see that the planets were accompanied by moving pinpoints of lights
which were moons of their own!
Galileo quickly published his discoveries in a bulletin he titled “Message from the Stars”. His
claims, at first, were met with wonder and excitement. He presented his new device to the
leaders of the time including the Catholic Church in Rome.
