This is a very complete and informative guide to finding and observing 690 of the finest deep sky objects. By David Eicher, associate editor of Astronomy magazine. It surveys 46 constellations and groups of constellations throughout the sky, keyed to their yearly peak visibility. Each of the 46 sky areas includes a full-page three-color map to help you find the featured objects, plus a brief catalog that lists their positions, magnitudes, sizes, etc. Each section also includes extensive descriptions of the visual appearance of each listed object as it appears through amateur telescopes of various apertures, plus history, star lore, and much more. Includes 146 color and duotone photos, as well as 116 eyepiece sketches. All material has appeared previously as monthly installments of the popular Backyard Astronomer column in Astronomy magazine. 188 fascinating 8.5" x 11" hardbound pages. One of the best observing guides for the beginning and advanced amateur astronomer alike. We bought 1000 of them and got them at a special low price that allows us to sell them for more than $3 below regular dealer cost.
