| 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. |

| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2007. |
| Description | xv,226p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Lights in the Sky is a truly comprehensive guide to observing, identifying, and imaging sky glows and other unusual atmospheric/astronomical phenomena, in both the night and daytime skies.
If, as a practical observer, you want to be able to identify what it is when you are faced, for example, with the Specter of the Brocken - or with an unidentified flying object that is...well, unidentified...then Lights in the Sky will provide all the practical scientific information you need. |

| Title | Urban astronomer's guide: A Walking Tour of the Cosmos for City Sky Watchers |
| Author(s) | Rod Mollise |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer

| 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 | Moon in close-up: A Next Generation Astronomer's Guide |
| Author(s) | John Wilkinson |
| Publication | Berlin, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2011. |
| Description | xi, 310p |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Information collected by recent space probes sent to explore the Moon by the USA, the European Space Agency, Japan, China and India has changed our knowledge and understanding of the Moon, particularly its geology, since the Apollo missions. This book presents those findings in a way that will be welcomed by amateur astronomers, students, educators and anyone interested in the Moon. Enhanced by many colour photos, it combines newly acquired scientific understanding with detailed descriptions and labelled photographic maps of the lunar surface. Guided by observation methods explained in the book and 17 Study Areas presented and carefully explained in the last chapter, amateur astronomers can observe these features from Earth using telescopes and binoculars. Readers who consult the photographic maps will gain a better understanding about the Moonâs topography and geology. The book is rounded out by a helpful glossary. |
