Astronomie-1×1

Astronomie-1×1 – a first guide for astronomy beginners

Ronald Stoyan’s concise introduction answers the first questions that come up when exploring the night sky. No previous knowledge is required: it explains the apparent motions of celestial objects, what can be observed and what binoculars and telescopes reveal. Realistic simulations of telescope views help beginners develop sensible expectations.

The book provides a clear starting point for a new hobby, complemented by an extensive glossary and a list of public observatories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Full-colour illustrations and a compact format make it useful before an observing session or as a quick reference. Please note: this is a German-language book.
