In the same period, stargazing technology has advanced to an unprecedented level of sophistication. Even \"basic\" low-tech binoculars and telescopes permit astounding views of the night sky. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In clear language and with full color photographs and illustrations throughout, this second edition of \u003ci\u003eMoon Observer's Guide\u003c\/i\u003e has been updated and revised throughout to incorporate these exciting advances, including more than 20 new images and information about new digital imaging techniques and technology, such as DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras, webcams, and mobile apps.
