Is Amateur Astronomy For You

This is the first in a series of videos about amateur astronomy. It is intended to present practical advice and suggestions to guide beginning amateur astronomers and help them determine if they wish to pursue amateur astronomy, astrophotography, and other forms of stargazing. There will also be discussions of telescopes, telescope mounts, eyepieces, the moon, the planets - Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn - and deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.
