Anyone interested in astronomy battles with the conveniences of
modern living - street lights, advertising and security lighting,
tall buildings, and even the occasional tree. More than 85% of the
population now lives in crowded and light-polluted towns and
cities. This book is for those who live in or near towns and cities
and own relatively modest equipment, although observers with larger
instruments will still find many of the target objects of interest.
The book encourages the use of star-hopping techniques to find
objects in the night sky. Included is a list of 100 popular deep
sky objects, ranked according to how difficult they are to find.
Each object is described and has companion star-hopping charts,
images and sometimes sketches. As a result, readers can gain a
sense of their own backyard view from Earth. There is also a top 30
list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated
lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to
make the most of your location. Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A
Star-Hopper's Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen
and how, regardless of the obstacles.
