About this book
Telescopic Work for Starlight Evenings advises observers beginning a department of astronomy to read and digest what has already been accomplished in the same line. The discussion of practice says experienced researchers generally see more than beginners because of acquired aptitude and power, rather than naturally superior vision. The text warns that observers commonly leave too much to their instruments, relying on equipment for results that depend entirely on personal effort.
The account of comet-seeking recommends directing chief attention to the Sun's vicinity, while stating that comets are not confined to any special region of the heavens. The discussion of double stars suggests a refractor may be more dependable for discovery and measurement, while allowing that a well-mounted reflector can be successfully employed.
