Oculum Deep Sky travel guide book for observing star clusters, nebulae and galaxies

Deep Sky travel guide anniversary edition

Observe star clusters, nebulae and galaxies for yourself

Ronald Stoyan

A wonderful "gadget" as a surprise for a loved one, as a Christmas present (or even for Santa Claus?) and as a useful accessory for a hobby that should be successful. A little thing that brings a lot of joy.

Discover heaven with your own eyes. This travel guide takes you to the sights of the night sky: star clusters, nebulae, galaxies. With binoculars or a small telescope, you can immediately see the fascinating objects in the universe.

The travel guide describes a total of 345 destinations, including 110 Messier objects, as well as exhibits from the NGC and IC catalog, as well as the most beautiful double stars and the most interesting variable stars. 320 additional objects are also listed with short descriptions and data.

Over 300 drawings show the objects as they are actually seen in the telescope. Observers from light-polluted city regions will find recommendations, as will experienced observers under dark skies, for whom special challenges have been included.

The Deep Sky travel guide is coordinated with the maps of the Deep Sky travel atlas. You can find the right atlas maps directly using references in the book.
