This unique Deep Space Image Catalog Educational Book shows more than 1,200 celestial objects scaled to a typical telescope's view. It includes a master list of virtually all the best objects in the entire night sky (+90-deg to -90-deg declination) with large, high-resolution images of every object. All are scaled to the actual size that they will appear in the observer's eyepiece. The hourly visibility charts let you pick a date and time to get a list of potential observing or photography targets. Included eyepiece and camera field-of-view templates can be overlaid on the images, and the book describes how to make additional templates for your specific gear. This book also contains 26 pages of sky maps for those who don't have a GoTo telescope. All in all, this is a unique educational book that will be highly useful to any serious observer or astrophotographer. By R. Blake. Softbound, 308 pages.
