Denning is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a detailed examination of telescopes and the art of astronomical observation, aiming to bridge the gap between amateur astronomers and more advanced astrophysics. With a focus on practical observing methods and the historical evolution of telescopic technology, the book invites both novices and seasoned astronomers to engage with the wonders of the night sky. The opening of this work presents a comprehensive preface and introduction, where the author discusses the historical context of the telescope's invention and its significant impact on astronomy. Denning outlines the gradual advancements in telescope construction and observation techniques since the early 17th century, emphasizing key figures like Galileo and the developing understanding of celestial bodies. He indicates that his compilation is intended for general readers, integrating revised articles alongside new content to make the subject accessible and enjoyable for those interested in stargazing and astrophysical exploration. The opening sets a tone of enthusiasm and encouragement for readers, fostering a spirit of inquiry into the celestial phenomena observable through telescopes on "starlight evenings."
