Find 110 selected deep-sky targets
The Herschel Guide presents 100 of the finest star clusters, nebulae and galaxies discovered by William Herschel, plus ten selected NGC and IC objects. Entries are arranged by the best observing time of year and combine concise descriptions with object data, charts, photographs and drawings.
Each target includes current data, month-by-month observing timing and a visibility rating for urban and rural skies. Two coordinated finder charts, a photograph showing nearby objects and comparison stars, and a drawing through a medium-sized telescope help with identification. Astrophysical notes and advice for visual observers and imagers complete the entries.
The water-resistant surface and wire binding are designed for use at the observing site.
