Nebulae, ethereal clouds of gas and dust, are among the most beautiful objects to view in the night sky. These star-forming regions are a common target for observers and photographers. Griffiths describes many of the brightest and best nebulae and includes some challenges for the more experienced observer. Readers learn the many interesting astrophysical properties of these clouds, which are an important subject of study in astronomy and astrobiology. Non-mathematical in approach, the text is easily accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. A special feature is the inclusion of an observational guide to 70 objects personally observed or imaged by the author. The guide also includes photographs of each object for ease of identification along with their celestial coordinates, magnitudes and other pertinent information. Observing Nebulae provides a ready resource to allow anyone with a little experience in astronomy, whether professional or amateur, to locate, identify and record the nebulae in our home galaxy. The author enables the observer to use a telescope and filters to the best advantage to see these celestial wonders, or to couple filters to a CCD camera or digital SLR camera in order to take quality images of celestial objects. By using these techniques it is even possible to make a valid contribution to professional investigations. And the views are unbeatable. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a520 700 $aGriffiths$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0144572 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149486803321 996 $aObserving Nebulae$91811511 997 $aUNINA
