Visual Astronomy Under Dark Skies

Zusatztext

<P>Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky ¿ star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies ¿ within reach of amateur astronomers. And it isn¿t even necessary to image many of these deep-sky objects in order to see them; they are within reach of visual observers using modern techniques and enhancement technology.</P> <P></P> <P>The first requirement is truly dark skies; if you are observing from a light-polluted environment you need Tony Cooke¿s book, <STRONG>Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs</STRONG>. Given a site with clear, dark night skies everything else follows...this book will provide the reader with everything he needs to know about what to observe, and using some of today¿s state-of-the-art technique and commercial equipment, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects.</P>
