Summary: Binocular Highlights
Comment: Binocular Highlights by Gary Seronik is exactly what I expected it to be.
I find that it is a perfect companion with The Pocket Sky Atlas. As a
binocular user, I find it quite helpful in selecting objects to look for
during a particular season. Gary's descriptions of the objects he high-
lighted are easy to read.

Summary: Just what we expected.
Comment: Binoculars are our start into star gazing. We wanted to try the lesser cost method of viewing the stars before selecting a telescope. This book helps greatly in locating the stars and planets. We plan to purchase a "go to" telescope to take the guess work out of the locating. But for now, this book and our Nikon 10 x 50 binoculars, will suffice.

Summary: Good for telescopes, too
Comment: Although the book is aimed at binocular observers, it also makes a nice, portable "best of the sky" guide for people with small telescopes or anyone just starting out with a telescope. It's particularly attractive for those of us who like to take a telescope when we travel. Travel telescopes are usually small, and often we're using them to show the wonders of the sky to interested friends, relatives, or fellow travelers. That means that most of the time we're going to be looking at the best and brightest celestial objects, and the 99 chosen here are a great start for experienced observers and probably all that newcomers will need for a while. The book folds flat and has just one or two objects per page so it's easy to use and not at all intimidating or overwhelming. I like it better as a telescopic observing guide than many of the guides written just for telescope users.

Summary: star gazing
Comment: I thought it would have information about planets. Very difficult to understand unless you really know what you're doing.

Summary: GARY NEEDS GOD!
Comment: Read Gary Seronik's introduction only if you've been looking for a reason to commit suicide. "When the view is fine...we are transported far from our daily cares and concerns, into the true vastness and AWFUL INDIFFERENCE of the universe." Then he quotes a Frenchman: "The greatest mystery is not that we have been FLUNG AT RANDOM between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within THIS PRISON we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to DENY OUR NOTHINGNESS." A page and a half into the handbook and I almost want to chuck it--and my binoculars--and my life--out the window! Fortunately, my faith informs me that we have value and meaning and purpose, that our existence is not random, so I guess I'll proceed to page three.
