I really liked that book, maybe cause I'm a dob user and the book it is (mainly) towered to our side of the sky.
Some books are boring, verbose and politically correct but not this one! Strong opinions, love it or hate it!
The photo of R.B.Thompson smoking the pipe while preserving the night vision is a must.
Congrats from Italy
