Abstract
In this chapter we review various aspects of observing objects within our Solar System using telescopes and binoculars—both for pleasure and also for making useful observations. So vast is this field that numerous entire books have been written about each and every one of the various objects discussed. The coverage given here, of necessity due to space limitations, provides only an overview of this subject. References for further study and contact information for various organizations in this field are also given.
