Mr. Olcotts Skies: An Old Book and a Youthful Obsession

A passion for stargazing often starts in a modest way, with a small telescope. For some, that modest beginning becomes a theme that resonates through a lifetime. Mr. Olcotts Skies is the story of one such beginning, and of how a small telescope and an old book set the author on a long and often indirect road to the stars. Its the tale of a journey that has only just begun, and of the discovery that you really do need to look back the way youve come, to understand where you are.
