Every amateur astronomer has at least heard of the many different
catalogs of deep-sky objects; the most well known are the Messier,
the Caldwell, the Herschel, and the NGC. All of these catalogs are,
in general, readily available, but very few amateur observers are
in a position to choose the best catalog for their particular
deep-sky observing program, know how to use the catalog, or even
realize just how many there are out there! The Amateur Astronomer's
Guide to the Deep-sky Catalogs is a single compilation of the
historical and modern astronomical deep-sky catalogs. It discusses
their origins, compares what's in them, explains how to interpret
the data they contain, and even outlines how readers can create
suitable 'custom' catalogs for their own use. The last section
provides a set of three deep-sky catalogs created by the author,
for observers of different levels of experience, from newcomer to
expert.
