Through decades of teaching observational astronomy at the high school and college level, Dr. Daniel Barth has inspired thousands of beginners, and in this book he shares the many ways that you can, too. The chapters contain a plethora of practical projects tailored for newcomers and intermediate observers alike, including projects that can be done outdoors with a telescope or indoors with a few simple materials.
