It's a great introduction to a fun new hobby, and even provides a fun way to get the kids outside while doing something educational!

Gives you an introduction to looking at the sky with binoculars or a telescope Offers advice on photographing the night sky Without needing to get your head around mind-bending theories, you can take part in some practical physics
