It provides a carefully selected list of accessible and rewarding deep sky objects. Full-color maps show the constellations, with star types (spectral and physical) indicated by the colors used on the map. Extended objects such as galaxies and nebulae are shown with the approximate apparent size in the sky. With unmatched thoroughness and accessibility, this is a constellation atlas that makes the ideal companion to a night's telescope viewing, for novices and expert amateur astronomers alike. Easy to navigate and refer to, it is the key that unlocks the door to greater night sky exploration.Patrick Moore's practical astronomy series.ConstellationsObservers' manualsStarsAtlasesConstellationsStars523.8Privett Grant1957-1763256Jones Kevin1763257MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438125303321The constellation observing atlas4203618UNINA
