Official synopsis Publisher
Nebulae are the places where the stars are born. For amateur astronomers, the many different kinds of nebulae vary from “easy” targets that can be seen with modest equipment under mediocre skies, to more obscure “challenging” objects that require experienced observers, more powerful telescopes and excellent observation conditions.
The concept of this book – and of the series – is to present an up-to-date detailed description and categorisation of nebulae, and then to instruct the reader in the best ways to successfully observe and record the large range of astronomical objects that fall under the general heading of “nebulae”.
Nebulae and How to Observe Them is a comprehensive mine of information for all levels of amateur observers, from the beginner to the experienced.
The Astronomers’ Observing Guides are designed for practical amateur astronomers who not only want to observe, but want to know the details of exactly what they are looking at 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.
