| 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 | 1,001 celestial wonders to see before you die: the Best Sky Objects for Star Gazers |
| Author(s) | Michael E. Bakich |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2010. |
| Description | xiii, 479p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Many deep-sky objects that can appear quite wonderful in photographs can be hard to observe in the telescope. This book is your guide to the more interesting nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies, objects that will bring gasps when you see them through a telescope. Author Michael E. Bakich shows you how to spot constellations youâve heard of but havenât been able to find. He gives you lists of bright deep-sky objects to target on clear nights. And he guides your search for the famous named splendors youâve heard of â and perhaps seen a picture of â and would like to see through your own telescope. Bakich, an observer since he was in third grade, knows the sky better than most. In his current position as senior editor and also photo editor for the highly regarded Astronomy magazine, he has the technical expertise and finely honed communication skills to help you easily locate the best sites in the sky. His more than 250 astroimages help you identify the detail in these sky wonders. Bakich organizes his 1,001 objects according to their best viewing months, so anytime is a good time to pick up this book and start observing. |

| Title | Astronomy of the milky way : Observer's Guide to the Northern and Souther Sky |
| Author(s) | Michael Inglis |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2004. |
| Description | xiii, 242p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | One of the wonders of the universe we live in is the Milky Way. It spans the entire sky and can be seen every night of the year from anywhere on Earth. This is the first book that deals specifically with what can be seen within the Milky Way from a practical observer's point of view. Astronomy of the Milky Way covers every constellation that the Milky Way passes through, and describes in detail the many objects that can be found therein, including stars, double and multiple stars, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, dark nebulae and supernovae remnants, open and galactic clusters, and galaxies. It also describes the one thing that is often left out of observing guides - the amazing star clouds of the Milky Way itself. It is one of a two-volume set that deal with the entire Milky Way - this second volume looks at what can be seen predominantly from the Southern skies. In addition to the descriptive text there are many star charts and maps, as well as the latest up-to-date images made by observatories around the world and in space, as well as images taken by amateur astronomers. Equipped with this book, an amateur astronomer can go out on any clear night of the year and observe the galaxy we live in - The Milky Way. |
