| 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 | Visual astronomy under dark skies: A New Approach to Observing Deep Space |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2005. |
| Description | x, 180p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky â star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies â within visual reach of amateur astronomers.
It isnât necessary to image deep-sky objects in order to see them; you look at them in real-time by using modern observing techniques and enhancement technology.
The first requirement is a truly dark observing site. Given a location with clear, dark night skies everything else follows⦠this book contains all you need to know about what to observe, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects, and how to use the best of todayâs commercial equipment for visual observing. |

| Title | Visual astronomy in the suburbs: A Guide to Spectacular Viewing |

2. Springer-Verlag, 2003. |
| Description | xii, 265p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Most amateur astronomers, because they live in or near cities, have to carry out their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. It is possible to reduce the effects of a poor location by the use of CCD imaging, but many observers prefer to look at astronomical objects rather than photograph them. Skill, observing techniques, and modern technology - such as image intensifiers - can now be used to astonishing effect to observe the night sky in real-time. Illustrating the book with images and some of his own superb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most spectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites. |

| Edition | 2nd |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2012. |
| Description | xvii, 253p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | In this companion guide to stars, star systems, galaxies, and other deep sky sights you can choose a class of object and set up an annual program for yourself that will take you from month to month, helping you locate famous targets or, if you prefer, hunting down the lesser known but still dazzling sky sights. Detailed descriptive summaries of each class of object are followed by extensive lists of deep-sky targets, presented in a monthly format and going from those objects easy to locate to those that are more of a challenge. Amateur astronomers of all levels will find this book invaluable for its broad-ranging background material, for its comprehensive lists of fascinating objects, and for its power to improve your observing skills. |
