Concise Catalog of Deep-sky Objects: Astrophysical Information for 500 Galaxies, Clusters and Nebulae 2003rd Edition by W.H. Finlay (PDF)

Description

Here is a unique and fascinating reference book for every serious deep-sky observer! Entries for each of more than 500 deep-sky objects provide far more than the usual astronomical data – they also detail, in every case, the most interesting facts. Physical factors, astrophysical information, evolution, unusual features, the list is endless. The objects are all listed in NGC order. Astronomers can now get an insight into exactly what they are looking at, to add a new level of insight and enjoyment to deep-sky observing.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐At last. A Guide to telescopically observable deep-sky objects that also contains astrophysical information about each one all in one book.This could replace hours of cross-referencing a variety of astronomical source books.Especially handy for any owner of today’s GoTo telescope, it is also useful for the starhopper, as it contains chart numbers for a couple popular star atlases likely to be used by amateur astronomers.Other nearby objects are often only mentioned in the text for each object, so the book actually covers more than just 500 objects.If I can fault the book at all, it is the lack of small-scale finder charts for some of the objects that are in crowded fields of objects. You will have to have charts of some sort to make sense of the fields in which these objects lie. Perhaps in a second edition.There are many books for the amateur who wishes to expand beyond the basic 500 object lists, but there is a dearth of observing guides for the scientifically up-to-date amateur astronomer just expanding beyond the Messier list.This is one, and I recommend it.Don PensackLos Angeles

⭐Hello, I recently purchased this book in Kindle format and have found it to be a very handy guide, especially for use in the field. It’s a perfect companion to another guide entitled “Objects in the Heavens”.http://www.amazon.com/Objects-Heavens-Peter-Birren/dp/155369662X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337630533&sr=1-1Objects in the Heavens tells you what to observe and how it may appear in the scope, while the Concise Catalog of Deep Sky Objects tells gives the scientific rundown on what you’re observing. The two books complement each other very well. I especially like how the Catalog compiles information into one handy page that otherwise might require two or more Google searches to acquire on each object.

⭐Als Hobbyastronom ist es ein gelungenes Werk.Hierbei benötigt man auch den Sternenatlas 2000.00 nur mit diesem werden die Objekte auch am dunklen Nachthimmel gefunden.

⭐Not found.
