This book is an inspiring telescope manual for kids aged between 8 and 14, but adults seem to love it too! A simple guide for first-time telescope buyers, this book takes you through the steps from setting it up, to finding your first astronomical wonders in the sky. Throughout the book you can follow a fun and exciting, illustrated story of astronomy enthusiasts Leo and Lukida, who have just received their very first telescope. The book also contains interactive exercises to help you learn constellations and find your favorite objects in the sky. Simply connect the stars in numbered order and try to find out which constellation it is.

This book will help you find your first astronomical objects in the sky and so much more. The example observations are actual drawings made through a telescope by the author. Therefore, the sketches give a very realistic impression of how the objects would look like through a small telescope. The book is usable both in the northern and southern hemispheres.
