More than 85% of the population now lives in crowded and light-polluted towns and cities. This book is for those who live in or near towns and cities and own relatively modest equipment, although observers with larger instruments will still find many of the target objects of interest. The book encourages the use of star-hopping techniques to find objects in the night sky. Included is a list of 100 popular deep sky objects, ranked according to how difficult they are to find. Each object is described and has companion star-hopping charts, images and sometimes sketches. As a result, readers can gain a sense of their own backyard view from Earth. There is also a top 30 list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to make the most of your location. Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A Star-Hopper?s Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen and how, regardless of the obstacles. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aOptical data processing 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 606 $aImage Processing and Computer Vision$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22021 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aOptical data processing. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aImage Processing and Computer Vision. 676 $a520 700 $aZack$b Malcolm$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065368 702 $aGannon$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMcRoberts$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300545803321 996 $aStargazing Under Suburban Skies$92544855 997 $aUNINA
