Book Reviews of Astronomical Sketching: A Step-by-Step Introduction (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Book Review: Can't Draw. Can now!
Summary: 5 Stars
Useful book for astronomers who want to develop a skill that requires only basic inexpensive tools to develop (if only astro-imaging were as cheap!).
From experience, sketching actually helps sharpen your observing technique. With the aid of the excellent step by step drawings this book provides, you can produce some good renditions of the night sky.
I recommend this book for dobsonian scope users where astro-imaging is virtually impossible and for astronomers who would like to get just a bit more out of the next observation session.
