A Buyer’s and User’s Guide to Astronomical Telescopes & Binoculars: Observing Techniques

Again, a novice may glimpse a nebula as a barely visible ghostly glow in the eyepiece, while a seasoned observer will see intricate details and even in some cases various hues. It’s all a matter of training the eye — and along with it the brain that processes the images formed by it from the telescope itself.]
