Amateur astronomers can challenge their abilities by attempting to find all the objects on the list in one night, and thus complete the Messier Marathon. This book contains over 90 easy-to-use star maps to guide the observer from one object to the next, and provides tips for a successful night of observing. The book also tells the story of the eighteenth-century astronomer, Charles Messier, and how he came to compile his extensive catalogue. This complete guide to the Messier Marathon will help the amateur astronomer to observe the Messier Objects throughout the year, using a small telescope or even a pair of binoculars. 606 $aAstronomy$vObservers' manuals 606 $aAstronomy$vCharts, diagrams, etc 606 $aGalaxies$vCharts, diagrams, etc 606 $aStars$xClusters$vCharts, diagrams, etc 606 $aNebulae$vCharts, diagrams, etc 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aGalaxies 615 0$aStars$xClusters 615 0$aNebulae 676 $a522 700 $aMachholz$b Don$f1952-$01027434 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450520603321 996 $aThe observing guide to the Messier marathon$92442864 997 $aUNINA
