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.

Deep Space Image Catalog Educational Book
Reviewer: Dawson Belobrajdic
I love this book. The cross-reference system can be a bit overwhelming (& redundant) at first - but if you have any basic knowledge of the stars it's pretty easy to find what you want by flipping a few pages. Although they aren't real big, the detail in the pictures is awesome and most were shot at x20 or x40 with plenty of background stars to use as locators. Obviously these long-exposure photos are much more detailed than an eyepiece view with even a good telescope, but it's an unbelievable reference when used to compare your personal sketches and/or astrophotos to the actual objects. There's also quite a bunch of other (sometimes extraneous) info, but I bought the book for the catalog of pictures - and it delivered.
