| Title | Guide to observing deep-sky objects: A complete global resource for astronomers |
| Author(s) | Jeff A. Farinacci |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2008. |
| Description | ix, 196p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Guide to Observing Deep-Sky Objects is an invaluable reference for all amateur astronomers.
The book contains, for each constellation, (1) a star chart showing the Bayer labels, (2) a table for many of the stars in the constellation, along with their positions and magnitudes, and (3) a table of the major deep-sky objects in the constellation, with relevant observational data. Facing pages provide unique year-long graphs that show when the constellation is visible in the sky, which allows the user to quickly determine whether a given constellation can be seen, and when the best time to see it will be. |

| Title | Navigating the night sky: How to Identify the Stars and Constellations |
| Author(s) | Guiherme De Almeida |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2004. |
| Description | xii, 205p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | This book will interest anyone who marvels at the night sky and would like to learn to recognise constellations and identify the brightest stars by name. Renowned amateur astronomer, Guilherme de Almeida, dispels the myth that specialist knowledge and elaborate instruments are a prerequisite for all astronomical observation. His book emphasizes the point that getting to know the night sky with the naked eye is an essential platform from which to start any astronomical observation. Step-by-step, the reader is guided through the knowledge needed to recognise key constellations, identify stars and planets, and interpret changes in the overall appearance of the sky throughout the year. The text is enhanced by the use of maps and illustrations, making this practical guide an invaluable text for all but the most advanced amateur astronomers. |

| Title | Setting-up a small observatory: From Concept to Construction |
| Author(s) | David Arditti;Patrick Moore (Foreword by) |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2008. |
| Description | xv, 235p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Setting up a Small Observatory addresses what you really need from an observatory, whether to build or buy, what designs you should consider, and where you should site it. Uniquely, it also considers the aesthetics of an amateur observatory: how to make it fit in with your home, garden, and yard, even disguising it as a more common garden building if necessary.
Thereâs also a wealth of practical details for constructing and equipping your small observatory â everything from satisfying local planning laws and building codes through to making sure that your completed observatory is well-equipped, convenient, and comfortable to use.
Whether you are considering a simple low-tech DIY approach to a fixed observatory, or aspiring to a sophisticated domed building, there is something here for you. |

| Title | Practical astrophotography |
| Author(s) | Jeffrey R. Charles |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2000. |
| Description | xvii, 301p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Almost all amateur astronomers want to take photographs of the night sky. For all but the simplest star-trail pictures, this involves machinery - a telescope drive - to track the stars, essential to compensate for the rotation of the earth. The task becomes even more complicated when photographing very small or very faint objects that require high magnification or very long exposure times.
Amateurs have many options according to their requirements, technical ability, and budget. Astrophotography for Amateurs looks at all the possibilities, including normal ("wet") photography, CCD imaging, and modern techniques of computer enhancement. There are sections about photographing different classes of astronomical object from the Moon to faint nebulae, as well as a thorough look at the equipment needed. |

| Title | Pattern asterisms: A New Way to Chart the Stars |
| Author(s) | John Chiravalle |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2011. |
| Description | xiv, 172p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Orion is a familiar constellation. He even looks like a hunter â at least itâs easy to visualize his belt and sword.
Since the very beginning of astronomy, people have looked up at the night sky and constructed patterns out of the almost random scattering of stars. The fact that the constellations are still used today reflects their usefulness in identifying bright stars in the rotating dome of the sky
But why stop there?
What applies to big groups of stars can also be applied to smaller ones â so here is a set of memorable mini-constellations to help astronomers identify and remember stars in typical binocular or low-magnification telescopic fields. Size, stellar magnitudes, and coordinates are provided, along with north direction, star-hopping instructions and Sky Atlas 2000 references.
Not only is this book a new and effective aid to navigating the night sky, itâs also the basis of a great group activity for star parties â guessing and visualizing entirely new star patterns! |

| Title | Dark nebulae, dark lanes, and dust belts |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2012. |
| Description | xi, 243p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | As probably the only book of its type, this work is aimed at the observer who wants to spend time with something less conventional than the usual fare. Because we usually see objects in space by means of illumination of one kind or another, it has become routine to see them only in these terms. However, part of almost everything that we see is the defining dimension of dark shading, or even the complete obscuration of entire regions in space. Thus this book is focused on everything dark in space: those dark voids in the stellar fabric that mystified astronomers of old; the dark lanes reported in many star clusters; the magical dust belts or dusty regions that have given so many galaxies their identities; the great swirling 'folds' that we associate with bright nebulae; the small dark feature detectable even in some planetary nebulae; and more. |
