Abstract
THIS is a most useful and carefully planned guide to the best use of small telescopes. It consists of a list of the most remarkable celestial objects visible with such instruments, with their positions for every tenth day, and partly serves as an introduction to Webb's “Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes.” Very considerable trouble has been taken in the compilation of the table of double-stars. Test objects, lunar craters, shooting-star radiants are also catalogued, and although small apertures are principally considered, objects suitable for examination with larger ones up to seven inches are given.
The Star Guide.
