Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Belts (Paperback, 2012)

There are 'voids' obscuring all kinds of objects in the cosmos.Voids may be withinan object, or betweenan object and us. "Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes" looks out into the deep sky at those apparent darkregions in space, which are among the most compelling telescopic destinations for amateur observers.One famous example is Barnard's dark nebulae - those striking dark clouds set against the background of stars in the Milky Way. But there are countless other less well knownexamples.These dark regions are often ignored altogether or commented upon onlybriefly in astronomy books, and it is all too easy to overlook the treasure trove they offer the observer.

"Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and DustLanes" is a great source of practical information for observers.Such voids may be successfully observed using conventional observing methods, but they are often far better seen with technologies such as light-pollution filters, CCD video cameras, and image intensifiers. This book explains the optimal ways to observe each object in detail."
