Visual Astronomy Under Dark Skies

Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies within reach of amateur astronomers. And it isn't even necessary to image many of these deep-sky objects in order to see them; they are within reach of visual observers using modern techniques and enhancement technology. The first requirement is truly dark skies; if you are observing from a light-polluted environment you need Tony Cooke's book, Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs . Given a site with clear, dark night skies everything else follows this book will provide the reader with everything he needs to know about what to observe, and using some of today's state-of-the-art technique and commercial equipment, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects.

Explains how modern techniques can be used to best effect for visual astronomy Looks at the use of real-time image enhancement systems, such as image intensifiers Features a selective list of deep-sky objects to view from dark sites, and shows what to expect Essential for all amateur astronomers who want to get the most enjoyment from visual deep-sky observing!

Klappentext
Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series VISUAL ASTRONOMY UNDER DARK SKIES A New Approach to Observing Deep Space     Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies within visual reach of amateur astronomers. It isn't necessary to image deep-sky objects in order to see them; you look at them in real-time by using modern observing techniques and enhancement technology. The first requirement is a truly dark observing site. Given a location with clear, dark night skies everything else follows this book contains all you need to know about what to observe, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects, and how to use the best of today's commercial equipment for visual observing.
