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 mostbeautiful 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.
