Discovering Deep Sky Objects
Discovering Deep Sky Objects helps you to find and learn about 386 carefully selected deep sky objects visible to amateur observers. The book covers star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, variables, and fiercely red carbon stars. Color overview charts tailored to light polluted skies show the general position of the objects, while generously proportioned detail charts show the precise star patterns around the objects themselves, enabling an observer to locate them through a finder scope.
The full Messier and Caldwell catalogs are included in Discovering Deep Sky Objects, as well as 169 further objects. Both Northern and Southern Hemisphere targets are included, and nearby notable objects are mentioned on the finder charts.
You can support the development of this book and other books in the series by purchasing a handy printed copy of this PDF. The star charts are optimised for use with a red light torch.
