The Barnard Objects have fascinated professional and amateur astronomers for over
one hundred years. Many of those objects first imaged by E.E. Barnard on black-and-white
photographic plates are now being captured daily in thousands of color astrophotographs.
This book tells of Barnards story; describing his life and work as well as how the
fields of astronomy and astrophotography have transformed ever since. The chapters
in this book are equal parts history and science. It will provide readers with an
introduction to nebula science and the incredible discoveries made in this field over
the decades; including an overview of popular astronomical catalogues and a detailed
look at how astronomical imaging has advanced since Barnards time, from early plates
to digital imaging and chips. In addition, the book features a comprehensive guide
to viewing and imaging these objects yourself. A glossary of astronomical and photographic
terms is provided, along with detailed references. And, an updated table displaying
the locations of these Barnard Objects; including the missing twenty-five objects
from E.E. Barnards original catalogue. Richly researched and illustrated, this fascinating
reference will attract astronomers of all skill levels interested in astrophotography
and how it has changed over the past hundred years
