| Title | Double & Multiple Stars, and How to Observe Them |
| Author(s) | Mullaney, James |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2005. |
| Description | X, 131 p. 45 illus., 22 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | ASTRONOMERS??? OBSERVING GUIDES provide up-to-date information for amateur astronomers who want to know all about what it is they are observing. This is the basis of the first part of the book. The second part details observing techniques for practical astronomers, working with a range of different instruments. Double and Multiple stars are among the most fascinating astronomical objects. They range from ???optical binaries??? that can be easily observed with a modest telescope, to distant and complex multiple systems that challenge even professional observers. The first part of Jim Mullaney???s book provides a comprehensive review of the different classes of double and multiple systems, along with a look at the astrophysics of these objects. This is followed by a detailed guide for amateur astronomers, describing how to observe them ??? using a variety of different techniques ??? and outlining how to record the observations. In one book, here is all you need to observe double and multiple stars, and to understand the systems you are looking at |

| Title | The Herschel Objects and How to Observe Them |
| Author(s) | Mullaney, James |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XVI, 167 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Deep-sky observers are always on the lookout for new observing challenges. The Herschel Objects, and How to Observe them offers an exciting opportunity to retrace the footsteps of Sir William Herschel, discoverer of Uranus and arguably the greatest visual observer and celestial explorer that ever lived! Following a biography of Herschel that details his life and the telescopes he used, this practical observer???s guide lists all the most impressive of Herschel???s star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. More than 600 of the brightest of the objects that Herschel observed are covered, and there are detailed descriptions and images of almost 200 of the very best Herschel objects for amateur astronomers |

| Title | A Buyer's and User's Guide to Astronomical Telescopes and Binoculars |
| Author(s) | Mullaney, James |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2014. |
| Description | XV, 223 p. 92 illus., 70 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Amateur astronomers of all skill levels are always contemplating their next telescope, and this book points the way to the most suitable instruments. Similarly, those who are buying their first telescopes ??? and these days not necessarily a low-cost one ??? will be able to compare and contrast different types and manufacturers. This??revised new guide provides an extensive overview of binoculars and telescopes. It includes detailed up-to-date information on sources, selection and use of virtually every major type, brand, and model on today???s market, a truly invaluable treasure-trove of information and helpful advice for all amateur astronomers. Originally written in 2006, much of the first edition is inevitably now out of date, as equipment advances and manufacturers come and go. This second edition not only updates all the existing sections but adds two new ones: Astro-imaging and Professional-Amateur collaboration. Thanks to the rapid and amazing developments that have been made in digital cameras??it is easily possible to image all sorts of astronomical objects and fields. Selecting the right device for a variety of purposes can be an overwhelming task in a market crowded with observing options, but this comprehensive guide clarifies the process. Anyone planning to purchase binoculars or telescopes for astronomy ??? whether as a first instrument or as an upgrade to the next level ??? will find this book a treasure-trove of information and advice.??It also supplies??the reader with many useful??hints and tips on using astronomical telescopes or binoculars to get the best possible results |

| Title | The Cambridge double star atlas |
| Author(s) | Bruce MacEvoy, Wil Tirion ; based on the original concept by James Mullaney |
| Edition | Second edition |
| Description | 1 online resource (169 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | The Cambridge Double Star Atlas is back! It is the first and only atlas of physical double stars that can be viewed with amateur astronomical instruments. Completely rewritten, this new edition explains the latest research into double stars, and looks at the equipment, techniques and opportunities that will enable you to discover, observe and measure them. The target list has been completely revised and extended to 2500 binary or multiple systems. Each system is described with the most recent and accurate data from the authoritative Washington Double Star Catalog, including the HD and SAO numbers that are most useful in our digital age. Hundreds of remarks explain the attributes of local, rapidly changing, often measured or known orbital systems. The color atlas charts by Wil Tirion have been updated to help you easily find and identify the target systems, as well as other deep-sky objects. This is an essential reference for double star observers |
