Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Collection : The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series
Note(s) : Designed for anyone who wishes to learn the constellations or observe the best and
brightest deep sky objects and double stars, this book contains an alphabetical list
of constellations complete with star maps, historical background, and highlights of
deep sky objects. Each entry contains position and physical information on enough
stars to support astronomers in star-hopping, swinging the telescope from star to
star to star to arrive at a faint target. It provides a carefully selected list of
accessible and rewarding deep sky objects. Full-color maps show the constellations,
with star types (spectral and physical) indicated by the colors used on the map. Extended
objects such as galaxies and nebulae are shown with the approximate apparent size
in the sky. With unmatched thoroughness and accessibility, this is a constellation
atlas that makes the ideal companion to a night's telescope viewing, for novices and
expert amateur astronomers alike. Easy to navigate and refer to, it is the key that
unlocks the door to greater night sky exploration
