This book enables anyone with suitable instruments to undertake an
examination of nebulae and see or photograph them in detail.
Nebulae, ethereal clouds of gas and dust, are among the most
beautiful objects to view in the night sky. These star-forming
regions are a common target for observers and photographers.
Griffiths describes many of the brightest and best nebulae and
includes some challenges for the more experienced observer. Readers
learn the many interesting astrophysical properties of these
clouds, which are an important subject of study in astronomy and
astrobiology. Non-mathematical in approach, the text is easily
accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. A special
feature is the inclusion of an observational guide to 70 objects
personally observed or imaged by the author. The guide also
includes photographs of each object for ease of identification
along with their celestial coordinates, magnitudes and other
pertinent information. Observing Nebulae provides a ready resource
to allow anyone with a little experience in astronomy, whether
professional or amateur, to locate, identify and record the nebulae
in our home galaxy. The author enables the observer to use a
telescope and filters to the best advantage to see these celestial
wonders, or to couple filters to a CCD camera or digital SLR camera
in order to take quality images of celestial objects. By using
these techniques it is even possible to make a valid contribution
to professional investigations. And the views are unbeatable.
