|
Review
From the reviews: “An informative and easy to follow discussion about the life of stars sets the scene for the formation of star clusters themselves. This pocket guide then delivers a set of descriptions, images and charts for each of the 50 clusters covered. The charts are uncluttered and useful, and the descriptions interesting … . ideal for a beginner … .” (Steve Richards, Sky at Night Magazine, April, 2011)
From the Back Cover
Star clusters are some of the most beautiful objects in the night sky and are prime targets for observational astronomers as well as astrophotographers. Using some of the newer technologies and larger and more powerful telescopes available today to amateur astronomers, many more of these dazzling groupings of stars can now be located and viewed throughout the year. In this field guide that will help you to decide what to look for and where to look for it, as well as what equipment to use, you will find what you need, whether you are a beginner in the field or an experienced observer. So on the next clear night, take your book and your binoculars or telescope and maybe your camera outside and see what new wonders can be revealed to you. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent field guide to many of the most beautiful observable objects in the universe. Take it outside with a good pair of binoculars or a decent telescope and have a blast. A good way to get to know the starry skies and what lies out there! Easy to follow and understand.
