"Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, and the only one with a
spectacular ring system easily visible from Earth. Julius Benton's Saturn and How
to Observe It provides a compendium of the latest information, and amateur and professional
images of Saturn. These images are followed by advice on how to observe Saturn using
a variety of telescope apertures, color filters and magnifications. This text is a
goldmine of information for all levels of amateur observers, from the beginner to
the highly experienced."--BOOK JACKET
