This updated second edition has all of the information needed for
your successful forays into deep sky observing. Coe uses his years
of experience to give detailed practical advice about how to find
the best observing site, how to make the most of the time spent
there, and what equipment and instruments to take along. There are
comprehensive lists of deep sky objects of all kinds, along with
Steve's own observations describing how they look through
telescopes with apertures ranging from 4 inches to 36 inches (0.1 -
0.9 meters).Binocular observing also gets its due, while the lists
of objects have been amended to highlight only the best targets. A
new index makes finding targets easier than ever before, while the
selection of viewing targets has been revised from the first
edition. Most of all, this book is all about how to enjoy
astronomy. The author's enthusiasm and sense of wonder shine
through every page as he invites you along on a tour of some of the
most beautiful and fascinating sites in the deep sky, with the
improved object list making sure your choice of a faint cluster,
hazy nebula or distant galaxy will all be equally rewarding.
