EDITORIAL INFORMATION

A permanent building for any small astronomical telescope is a great asset. Comfort, ease of use and above all being able to spend time actually observing instead of setting up the telescope mean that most amateur astronomers dream of having a fixed site. This second collection of - mostly amateur - observatories for small telescopes provides yet more ideas along with a wealth of practical information for anyone thinking of building an observatory. The Free CD-ROM contains the complete text of the first book, Small Astronomical Observatories.

(Extracted from the back cover).
