Planetary Nebulae and How to Observe Them is for amateur
astronomers who want to go beyond the Messier objects,
concentrating on one of the most beautiful classes of astronomical
objects in the sky. Planetary nebulae are not visible to the naked
eye, but they are a fascinating group of telescope objects. This
guide enables a user equipped with an average-sized amateur
telescope to get the best out of observing them. Topics covered
include their astrophysical make-up, history of their discovery,
classification and description, telescopes to use, filters, and
observing techniques - in short everything anyone would need to
know to successfully observe planetary nebulae. The book describes
the various forms these astronomical objects can take and explains
why they are favorite targets for amateur observers. Descriptions
of over 100 nebulae personally observed by the author using
telescopes of various sizes are included in the book. Readers can
create their own observing program or follow the list of these
captivating objects, many of which are found within our own Milky
Way Galaxy.
