Most amateur astronomers yearn to observe more frequently. Many
of them, however, live in urban and highly developed suburban areas
that are heavily light polluted. Due to this light pollution, they
are under the impression that deep sky objects nebulae, galaxies,
star clusters are either invisible or not worth viewing from home.
This book describes the many objects that can be seen in a bright
urban sky, and shows the city or suburban astronomer how to observe
object after object, season after season.
This book covers the "why," "how," and "what" of astronomy under
light-polluted skies. The prospective city-based observer is told
why to observe from home (there are hundreds of spectacular objects
to be seen from the average urban site), how to observe the city
sky (telescopes, accessories, and moderns techniques), and what to
observe. About 50% of the book is devoted to describing "tours" of
the sky, with physical and observational descriptions,
at-the-eyepiece drawings, and photographs.
