A fun read, from the early days of manually controlled telescopes with an observer suspended at the prime focus to the era of queue-based and robotic telescopes.
Full of interesting factoids and anecdotes.

I love books like this.
Someone who is really passionate about their school of study is explaining how and why they became inspired, and sharing stories of the old guard they heard as they learned the ropes.
It’s also giving an overarching view of the evolution of Astronomy, which was a history unknown to me.
