Denis Berthier has spent thirty years observing the night sky from within a city and his practical guide will enable amateur astronomers to observe and photograph stars, planets and other celestial objects from their own town. It is becoming more and more difficult to find an observing site with clear, dark skies away from light and industrial pollution. However, by choosing the right targets to observe, with patience and simple equipment, amateur astronomers can still find observing from towns and cities to be a rewarding hobby. Denis Berthier is the French journalist who has been passionate about astronomy for the last thirty years. He has been Laureate of the French Association for Astronomy and has published numerous papers on astronomical photography and instrument construction.

- This is a really good beginning astronomy book for backyard observers. There are lots of good references for different types of telescopes, eyepieces, binoculars and other equipment. It has some good star maps and viewing recommendations for beginning astronomers. It has 4 really good chapters on spring, summer, fall and winter viewing. My book was published in 2002, so it's a bit old. Pluto is still a Planet in this book, for example, but not much else has changed since then. Since it's an older book, you can get it at a discount price too.
