| Title | Urban astronomer's guide: A Walking Tour of the Cosmos for City Sky Watchers |
| Author(s) | Rod Mollise |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2006. |
| Description | vii, 257p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | any amateur astronomers live in urban and highly developed suburban areas, and many of them believe that they canât observe deep-sky objects from such light-polluted locations. But it isnât true. Given the right techniques, urban astronomers can routinely observe deep-sky objects night after night â something most of us would never do if it involved driving miles into the country to find a dark site. Rod Mollise has observed the entire Messier list from his urban backyard, without high-tech equipment, using only commercially-made telescopes and simple accessories. This is a guide to good deep-sky astronomy under bad skies.
There are literally hundreds of spectacular objects to be seen from the average urban site. After dealing with equipment, locations and even urban safety, Rod invites you to join him on his virtual "walking tours" of the night sky, with physical and observational descriptions, at-the-eyepiece drawings, and photographs. |

| Title | Go-to telescope under suburban skies |
| Author(s) | Neale Monks |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2005. |
| Description | xxi, 260p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | This book does not tell you how to use your Go-to telescope. Your manual will help you do that. It tells you what to look for in the deep sky and why, and what equipment to best see it with. Organized broadly by what is best for viewing in the northern hemisphere in different seasons, Monks further divides the sights of each season into groupings such as "Showpiece Objects," "Interesting Deep Sky Objects," and "Obscure and Challenging Deep Sky Objects." He also tells what objects are visible even in light-polluted skies. So armed with your go-to telescope, find an ideal viewing site or set up your telescope in your own backyard. Either way, youâre in for some fun! |

| Title | David Levy's guide to observing meteor showers |
| Author(s) | David H. Levy |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2001. |
| Description | x, 128p. |
| Abstract Note | Meteors occur when a meteoroid, a speck of dust in space, enters the Earth's atmosphere. The heat generated when this happens causes the surrounding air to glow, resulting in 'shooting stars'. During the most spectacular meteor storms larger particles give rise to fireballs and firework-like displays! Meteors are a delightful observing field - they do not require a telescope, and they can be seen on any clear night of the year, even in bright twilight. It was the sight of a single meteor that inspired David Levy to go into astronomy, and in this book he encourages readers to go outside and witness these wonderful events for themselves. This book is a step-by-step guide to observing meteors and meteor showers. Any necessary science is explained simply and in clearly understandable terms. This is a perfect introduction to observing meteors, and is ideal for both seasoned and budding astronomers. |
