It would be great for a binocular beginner. Robert has aimed the book at 10x, 12x users. Since I'm working at 20x or 30x, there are objects I could view that he doesn't mention, but I can supplement his text with my other documents and maps. The most useful for me is Robert's tour of 56 individual constellations - straightforward diagrams and descriptions of where to look and of what you are seeing.
I tested it out last night. I followed his tour for Orion and was starting on Leo when cloud (unpredicted by every weather forecast
) covered the sky and spoilt the show. But I had an enjoyable hour's viewing and Robert took me places in Orion I hadn't been before.
Highly recommended. Eric
