    The Night Sky Observers Guide – Vol 3 The Southern Skies

    By the early 80s, a revolution in amateur optics was underway thanks to the inexpensive and easily-constructed mounting for large aperture Newtonian reflectors invented by John Dobson. With these big “light buckets” one can see scores of emission nebulae, hundreds of star clusters, and thousands of galaxies, with details visible in virtually all of them.

    Unfortunately, observing literature failed to keep pace with the optics. The purpose of The Night Sky Observer’s Guide – Vol 3 was to close this gap by providing the owner of a medium or large aperture telescope with some idea of what to look for in such instruments—both what objects can be seen, and what details may be seen within these objects. For most of the deep-sky objects covered, there is a brief description as seen through two or more telescopes apertures such as 8/10″, 12/14″, 16/18″, 20/22″, and at different powers. Eyepiece impression sketches are provided for hundreds of objects. This book was intended for Southern Latitudes as is evident by the volume names, it is a very useful addition to any astronomer’s library of observational aids

    ARRANGEMENT OF THE GUIDE

    Each chapter is devoted to a constellation. The first page is devoted to general comments about the constellation. The second page is a map of the constellation that faces a stellar data table that usually fills the entire page. The remaining pages of each chapter contain photographs, sketches and finding charts – and all of these pages include written descriptions of objects as seen through different-sized instruments.

    CONSTELLATIONS COVERED:
    Apus, Ara, Caelum, Carina, Centaurus (expanded coverage beyond that found in Volume 2), Chamaeleon, Circinus, Crux, Dorado, Grus, Horologium, Hydrus, Indus, Mensa, Musca, Norma, Octans, Pavo, Phoenix, Pictor, Reticulum, Telescopium, Triangulum Australe, Tucana, Vela, Volans plus extensive coverage of The Large Magellanic and Small Magellanic Clouds.
