His lasting legacy is his dedicated all-sky survey of star clusters and nebulae, and these objects continue to be among the most studied in the night sky. This unique book provides a complete re-examination of Herschel's entire catalogue of non-stellar discoveries, making it the most accurate and up-to-date reference of its kind. Retrace the footsteps of one of history's greatest astronomers and explore every one of Herschel's landmark discoveries, including those considered to be lost or non-existent. Read detailed notes about each object's appearance and physical characteristics, and view hundreds of photos of the most intriguing Herschel objects, along with dozens of sketches of what is visible at the eyepiece. This superb book is a must-have for amateur astronomers seeking new and exciting observing challenges, and as the ultimate reference on the Herschel objects. 606 $aAstronomy$vObservers' manuals 606 $aStars$xClusters$vObservers' manuals 606 $aNebulae$vObservers' manuals 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aStars$xClusters 615 0$aNebulae 676 $a522 686 $aSCI004000$2bisacsh 700 $aBratton$b Mark$f1955-$01638821 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810588303321 996 $aThe complete guide to the Herschel objects$93981478 997 $aUNINA
