The Caldwell Catalogue, compiled by the late Sir Patrick Moore
(1923–2012), has delighted amateur astronomers worldwide since
its publication in 1995. Twenty years on, Stephen James O'Meara
revisits his guide to these 109 deep-sky delights, breathing new
life into them and the 20 additional observing targets included as
an appendix. This second edition retains O'Meara's detailed visual
descriptions and sketches, accompanied by stunning new images taken
by amateur photographer Mario Motta and observations by Magda
Streicher. The astrophysical descriptions have been updated to
account for the many advances in our understanding of the objects,
not least due to an armada of space-borne observatories and the new
technologies used in large ground-based telescopes. Ideal for
observers who have completed the Messier objects and are looking
for their next challenge, Deep-Sky Companions: The Caldwell Objects
is a fitting tribute from a renowned visual observer to one of
astronomy's most famous personalities.
