The first edition of this stunning reference atlas was hailed as the most comprehensive, detailed, and beautiful account of the Messier objects then available. The second edition continues this trend, with thoroughly investigated and updated astrophysical, historical, and observational information for every object. The main object photos have all been replaced with more than 150 new images from some of the world's best amateurs displaying the objects' splendor through large-scale color images. Historical sketches from classical observers from the nineteenth century are presented, alongside the author's modern deep-sky drawings. Extensive information is given on visual observation from using the naked eye and binoculars through to large modern amateur telescopes. Astronomers of all abilities will delight in the Atlas's return as your guide to the sky's finest objects.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface, User guide\u003cbr\u003e Charles Messier\u003cbr\u003e The Observations\u003cbr\u003e The catalog\u003cbr\u003e Statistics of the Messier objects\u003cbr\u003e Observation of the Messier objects\u003cbr\u003e Beyond Messier: The Herschel 100\u003cbr\u003e The 110 Messier objects\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of technical terms\u003cbr\u003e Index of figures\u003cbr\u003e Index of sources.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Popular astronomy \u0026amp; space [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Popular astronomy \u0026amp; space\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Popular%20astronomy%20\u0026amp;%20space%20%5BWNX%5D%22\"\u003eWNX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52173717831960,"sku":"9781009364065","price":54.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009364065i.jpg?v=1781168116","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/atlas-of-the-messier-objects-highlights-of-the-deep-sky-hardback-9781009364065","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
