Book Synopsis 110 Things to See With a Telescope by : John Read
Download or read book 110 Things to See With a Telescope written by John Read and published by . This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book and a telescope are all you need to find, view, and record your observations of the most popular stargazing targets. But what makes this list so famous? Over 200 years ago, the French comet hunter Charles Messier published a list of fuzzy, comet-like objects he saw through his telescope. To him, they were a nuisance. We now know them as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies! Modern astronomers later expanded his list from 103 to 110 objects - and they're some of the finest celestial sights to explore with your backyard telescope, especially after you're ready to move beyond the Moon and planets. This book is your guide to seeing each deep sky object in Messier's list - plus a complete how-to for budding astronomers. Finding the 110 Messier (pronounced Messy-ay) objects has never been easier! We provide a star map for each target - plus written directions for how to find it by star-hopping, an "eyepiece view" image to confirm you're seeing it, observing tips from two veteran stargazers, and interesting facts. We also highlight additional nearby objects. These objects are presented in their recommended viewing order - either by season, or during an all-night marathon! Each page contains an observation log so you can track your progress, and later apply for a Messier Observing Certificate from the Astronomical League and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Certificate Application instructions are provided in the appendix of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early days of flight, animals have helped researchers learn how to survive in the sky, and their role continues as humanity voyages into outer space.

In the age of rockets and space travel, many more animals have travelled into orbit, and most have returned safely to earth.
