A fantastic book, written by Kent Wallace and described by some as the Planetary Observing bible. Produced by one of our Members who used to work for the Ordnance Survey. This atlas is the first of two volumes and covers the sky from RA 0 hours 00 minutes to 11 hours 59 minutes. There are charts of the whole sky, but more importantly, a detailed chart for each of the open clusters down to 16th magnitude. An excellent and probably unique atlas with a PDF sample of the content to download.
This atlas is the second of two volumes, and completes the coverage of the sky from RA 12 hours 00 minutes to 23 hours 59 minutes. The final part of an excellent and probably unique atlas. Produced by one of our Members who used to work for the Ordnance Survey this atlas has 44 Charts with almost 17, stars plotted down to magnitude 7. Of these 3, are double stars and in addition there are over 1, deep sky objects identified.
Jack Bennett was a very experienced amateur astronomer in Southern Africa and this catalogues lists Deep Sky objects that he compiled as an aid to comet hunting he discovered 2 comets Each object is listed with its type, magnitude, size and descriptions by 2 very experienced deep sky observers using telescopes between 8 and 16 inches in aperture. A set of five A3 size charts covering the whole sky with selected double stars highlighted for you to chase.
An international society of amateur and professional astronomers specialising in the observation of double stars and 'deep sky' objects founded in Membership is open to anyone who shares the interests of the Society.
Printed on art paper, its magazine format encourages all amateurs to make a contribution to the Society's work. If you have information you would like to see published in the Deep-Sky Observer, please contact the Editor. We also have a very limited number of Willmann-Bell books to offer.
Why not buy whilst they're still available? Perhaps you'd like to join our groups. Access is limited to members, but you're all welcome. A wonderful supernova-remnant, and a reflection nebula thrown in for good measure in this image. Hard for the visual observer, but a great region for EAA and imaging. A difficult and obscure trio of galaxies to start the year from Owen.
There's the glow of nearby lambda UMa to make them easy to locate, but harder to see. A showpiece object from Patrick this January that encompasses both cluster and a number of nebulae. The quality of your sky is going to make all difference. You can download a copy of our book review index as a PDF.
