Observing the Caldwell Objects (Paperback)

Paperback. The objects listed in the Caldwell Catalogue supplement Messier's famous catalogue of 110 non-stellar objects, including some of the most fascinating objects for amateur astronomers. This comprehensive guide to the Caldwell objects has been produced specially for observers. Each object is on a double-page spread (which can be photocopied for field use). There is a photographic image of every object and full technical data including position (with the major Star Atlas chart numbers) and NGC number. The book also includes a finder map showing Telrad circles, a star-hopping guide, a visual description of what the object looks like through amateur telescopes and a physical description of the object itself. Background A new collection of deep sky targets for the modern amateur astronomer was long overdue. There must be a better way to choose the best deep sky objects for the modern era. This has given him an in-depth, practical knowledge of deep sky objects in both northern and southern hemispheres. This item is printed on demand.
