Description of  The Ultimate Backyard Astronomer's Guide for Beginners: The Step by step guide to finding the best objects the night has to offer, choosing your telescope, and Building a Backyard Observatory!

Have you have ever gazed up at the night sky, been wondered by what you see, and thought about taking a closer look? If this is you, then I can tell you that you are not alone!Amateur Astronomy has taken off in the past two decades, with the bounty of well-priced, competent, high-quality equipment available today. But for the complete beginner with no experience, the one question that will be particularly obvious is, - "What do I need to get great views of the heavens?"The first awakening many people have to Astronomical equipment is when they visit their local store and find cheap telescopes offered in brightly colored boxes claiming 500X magnification and designating impressively detailed color pictures of planets and galaxies.Don't be deceived by this!This is NOT the fulfillment you'll get, and it's clearly NOT what you'll see - particularly with the telescope in this box from this store. This is so tricky and has been accountable for more setbacks to wannabe astronomers than any other particular thing I'd advise, these are just toys, and you should stay far away from them. And regrettably, even with equipment costing many times more, you still won't see the detail and color described on these types of boxes.Firstly, when you look into even a modest telescope, you won't see color. The minuscule amount of light emanating from heavenly objects is not enough to display as color usually on our retinas. That said, it is probable to see some basic color detail on planets and galaxies that are large and close enough to provide adequate light output. I can say without exception when I have introduced family and friends to their first-ever view of Saturn in all its glory the reaction is always a wide-eyed gasp and a "wow!" Likewise, Jupiter's four clearly visible Galilean Moons move in real-time if you watch for several minutes.Naturally, the objects you're seeing are moving the whole time you're looking at them. Honestly, to see these heavenly objects this close and personal, as you've never seen them before, gives you a beautifully strange, yet eerie, feeling of being just a tiny speck in a universe far more extensive than you've probably ever thought before. To see things in your eye-piece that are so far away that they may have ceased to exist millions of years ago appears incomprehensible in a naive sense. It's so tough to imagine the light from that dim and distant object that would have taken millions upon millions of years to reach your eye.If you're interested enough that this has sharpened your appetite for more, then take a note of the following step-by-step guide before racing out and purchasing equipment that may not suit your demands.
