| 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. |

| 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! |
