The Thompson's have outdone themselves with this publication! I only wish this came to press five years ago, when I re-entered this hobby.


The material is laid out in a very intuitive manner and is very easy to read. They also provide some nice definitions and examples to common terms.


I really like the finderscope view drawings with the 1 degree eyepiece imposed on it. I recommend to anyone getting into this hobby and as a perfect present too!
