Title	Binocular astronomy
Author(s)	Stephen Tonkin (ed.)
Publication	London, Springer-Verlag, 2007.
Description	xv, 284p.
Series	(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract Note	This book contains everything an astronomer needs to know about binocular observing. The book takes an in-depth look at the instruments themselves. It has sections on evaluating and buying binoculars and binocular telescopes, their care, mounting, and accessories. In addition there is a selection of fifty fine objects to be seen with 50mm and 100mm binoculars. The advantages of using both eyes for astronomical observing are many and considerable, largely because of the way the human brain processes visual information. This book enables the astronomer to maximize those advantages.

Title	Astronomy with small telescopes: Up to 5-inch, 125 mm
Author(s)	Stephen F. Tonkin (ed.)
Publication	London, Springer-Verlag, 2001.
Description	xiii, 157p.
Series	(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract Note	Small telescopes have a lot to recommend them. Cost is of course a consideration, but their most positive feature is sheer portability. Some manufacturers have tried to make large telescopes more portable (with mixed success), but the opposite approach, that of making small telescopes more effective, is what this book is all about. Good 2-inch (60mm) telescopes are now available for beginners, and major American manufacturers now offer small, affordable computer-controlled instruments that are capable of superb results. Stephen Tonkin has gathered the experience of users of small telescopes to provide an insight into just what is possible - for newcomers to astronomy or experienced observers who simply want to use a small, really portable telescope.

Title	Amateur telescope making
Author(s)	Stephen F. Tonkin (ed.)
Publication	London, Springer-Verlag, 1999.
Description	xii, 259p.
Series	(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract Note	Many amateur astronomers make their own instruments, either because of financial considerations or because they are just interested. Amateur Telescope Making offers a variety of designs for telescopes, mounts and drives which are suitable for the home-constructor. The designs range from simple to advanced, but all are within the range of a moderately well-equipped home workshop. The book not only tells the reader what he can construct, but also what it is sensible to construct given what time is available commercially. Thus each chapter begins with reasons for undertaking the project, then looks at theoretical consideration before finishing with practical instructions and advice. An indication is given as to the skills required for the various projects. Appendices list reputable sources of (mail order) materials and components. The telescopes and mounts range from "shoestring" (very cheap) instruments to specialist devices that are unavailable commercially.
