It comprises 231 galaxies, 107 open clusters, 33 globular clusters, 20 planetary nebulae, 2 halves of a single planetary nebula, and 7 bright nebulae. In this guide Steve O'Meara takes the observer through the list, season by season, month by month, night by night, object by object. He works through the objects in a carefully planned and methodical way, taking in some of the most dramatic non-Messier galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in the night sky. Ideal for astronomers who have tackled the Messier objects, this richly illustrated guide will help the amateur astronomer hone their observing skills.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45644405932101,"sku":"rvw1787927868574","price":49.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/0777\/8885\/files\/steve-omearas-herschel-400-observing-guide_1.gif?v=1787927875"},{"product_id":"touring-the-universe","title":"Touring the Universe","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor: Ken Graun\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpiralbound Softcover: 128 pages\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWritten especially for beginning to intermediate astronomy enthusiasts.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is your complete guide to the cosmos through 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTouring the Universe\u003c\/i\u003e lets you in on the best places to explore, when and where to witness the most spectacular events, and how to get there to have the best experience.
