Synopsis
Written as a follow up to 50 Things to See with a Small Telescope, containing virtually no overlap in content, 50 Targets for the Mid-Sized Telescope introduces the beginner stargazer to an assortment of astronomical wonders. With easy-to-follow star maps, unique for each target, the budding astronomer will explore the universe like never before.
Each target has been carefully chosen to be observable in telescopes with apertures between four and eight inches. Most objects can be viewed from the suburbs in mildly light polluted conditions, with only a few noted exceptions requiring darker skies. On dark, moonless nights, most targets will be visible in small telescopes and binoculars too.

About the Author
Shortly after receiving his pilot's license as a Royal Canadian Air Cadet, John dropped out of Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University to pursue a degree (and career) in Corporate Finance. A few years later, his wife bought him a twelve-inch Dobsonian Telescope for Christmas (to be fair, she got leather boots). He joined the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society, volunteering as many as four nights per week under California's cloudless skies. During his time at MDAS he began writing essays for the club's magazine, Diablo MoonWatch, and later published his first book, 50 Things to See with a Small Telescope. In 2016, John left corporate America, and is now a full time astrophysics student in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Review
"As a veteran amateur astronomer used to a good- sized telescope, I was unfamiliar with a few of these objects. I was able to find and observe many of the 50 over a 5-night observing session in a 4.5" Newtonian reflector. This is an excellent observing list for the novice telescope user and you will learn your way around the sky into the bargain."
- David Chapman, Emeritus Editor, RASC Observer's Handbook 2012-2016
