About this Item
Description:
The Deep-Sky Observer's Year: A Guide to Observing Deep-Sky Objects Throughout the Year. Seller Inventory # BBS-9781852332730
Synopsis:
Deep-sky observing - that's looking at the stars, nebulae and galaxies - is easily the most popular field for amateur astronomers. The big problem faced by non-professional observers is what to look at - what's visible at a paticular time of year. The Deep-sky Observer's Year is a month-by-month guide to the best objects to view. Objects are given a "star rating" according to how difficult they are to observe or image (i.e. photograph) with a particular size of telescope. The book includes many images produced by amateur astronomers, as well as photographs from NASA, ESA and ESO. There is also some background information about the objects that can be seen, along with lots of useful tips, hints, and resources (especially about what's available on the Internet) for deep-sky observers.
Review:
FROM THE REVIEWS:
SKY & TELESCOPE
"Most everything you want to know about observing clusters, nebulae, and galaxies can be found in these meaty selections from the Practical Astronomy series of legendary British astronomy popularizer Patrick Moore...No doubt some amateurs will want to have all three of these well-prepared guides on their astronomy bookshelves.”
SKY & TELESCOPE
"...it packs a lot of information. I enjoyed the authors’ insightful and well-written introduction that waxes philosophical about observing as it explains the layout of the book...The descriptions are presented in easy-going, accessible prose, with the authors giving advice on the minimum optics required for pleasing views of each object.”
