Author John Read Focuses on Inexpensive Telescopes

Author of "Learn to Stargaze for Kids", John A. Read got started in astronomy throught the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society, volunteering as many as four nights per week under California's cloudless skies. In 2013 he published his first book, 50 Things to See with a Small Telescope. In 2016, John left corporate America, and in 2020, completed a four year astrophysics degree. In this review John takes a deep dive into Explore One's Gemini II. 

In the future, Read plans to attend the Global Star Party and share his experience in making astronomy a full-time career.
