library book

After renewing my library card, I put a hold on another astronomy book. Today, I picked it up: Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs by Antony Cooke.

On skimming the prologue, I grew discouraged. It sounds like the author is going to recommend buying an image intensifier...

I'll press on. I'm sure I'll learn other things.

Curiously, it has already inspired me to try light filters. I'll see if I can borrow some members filters for my gear. I'll do some comparative tests at home from the back garden and see what I see.
