Should have been included free with the product it's pushing, August 7, 2007
For the price, this is a very slim offering. Some nice information, great illustrations, but it's barely a pamphlet. And it spends a good amount of its ink telling us how we really should buy the author's planisphere. This little 'book' should have been included with the plainisphere. That would have made a nice package -- one I'd gladly have paid for. As it is, I just feel ripped off.
If you own NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe, save your money. Dicknson's book has great star charts, and they point out which objects make good binocular subjects.
A disappointment.

Great book for beginning astronomers!, June 30, 1998
By A Customer
Exploring the Night Sky is great at sparking interest in atronomy.While this book offers clear and useful guidance, you won't need a college course just to understand the terminology or an expensive model of telescope to make use of it. Exploring the Night Sky With Binoculars is perfectly suited to helping beginners experience and *enjoy* the stars!

Surprisingly good, July 19, 2003
By A Customer
Took me quite a while to outgrow this little book and I still come back to it every now and then. Even if you don't intend to seriously dive into astronomy, this book provides a good guide for an occasional backyard outing with a pair of binoculars.

Awesome!, December 9, 2003
We own www.NightSkyMurals.com and we have been contemplating writing a book to leave with our customers that would give a general overview of the Night Sky to help familiarize them with it. When I read David Chandlers book I thought that it was more than what I was going to put together. It is excellent! It should be easy for older kids to read and understand and yet not in any way too childish for their parents. It explains so many things for people, in plain English, who have caught the bug to learn about the Night Sky around them or for beginning astronomers. Most excellent! My customers will be getting this book.
