| Title | Visual astronomy under dark skies: A New Approach to Observing Deep Space |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer

| 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 |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |

| 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. |

| Title | NexStar user's guide |
| Author(s) | Michael W. Swanson |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2004. |
| Description | xviii, 296p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Celestronâs NexStar telescopes were introduced in 1999, beginning with their first computer controlled "go toâ model, a 5-inch. More models appeared in quick succession, and Celestronâs new range made it one of the two dominant manufacturers of affordable "go toâ telescopes. Michael Swansonâs online discussions with literally thousands of NexStar owners made it clear that there was a desperate need for a book such as this - one that provides a complete, detailed guide to buying, using and maintaining NexStar telescopes. Although this book is highly comprehensive, it is suitable for beginners - there is a chapter on "Astronomy Basicsâ - and experts alike. |
