Download or read book Dark Nebulae Dark Lanes and Dust Belts written by Antony Cooke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are 'voids' obscuring all kinds of objects in the cosmos. Voids may be within an object, or between an object and us. Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes looks out into the deep sky at those apparent dark regions in space, which are among the most compelling telescopic destinations for amateur observers. One famous example is Barnard's dark nebulae - those striking dark clouds set against the background of stars in the Milky Way. But there are countless other less well known examples. These dark regions are often ignored altogether or commented upon only briefly in astronomy books, and it is all too easy to overlook the treasure trove they offer the observer. Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes is a great source of practical information for observers. Such voids may be successfully observed using conventional observing methods, but they are often far better seen with technologies such as light-pollution filters, CCD video cameras, and image intensifiers. This book explains the optimal ways to observe each object in detail.
Download or read book Bright Dark Nebulae written by Richard P. Wilds and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here the reader will find the first extensive listing of Bright and Dark Nebulae for the entire sky attempted in one easy to use resource. The author will take the reader on an observer friendly tour of the night sky in easy to handle amounts divided into the well known constellations that will allow observers the opportunity to become acquainted with each object discussed. One of the revelations provided is that any telescope will work in this effort as long as the observer is able to obtain a significantly dark observing site. Small Rich Field Telescopes work better on the many large faint objects that are discussed, while larger telescopes can then apply their light gathering abilities on the smaller faint objects that are discussed. One of the advantages of the book is that the observer will gain the all important knowledge of how to apply instrumentation to gain the best views of each object they wish to see, since the ultimate goal of the present work is to help each observer to be able to see each of these formidable Bright and Dark Nebulae for themselves.Coverage of this topic is currently lacking in the market in that the statement can be made that it has never been attempted on this level of extensive coverage over the entire sky before. Along with research that covers the full history of the field and most significantly the important professional efforts of the last century, the author brings before the reader the information needed to be able to observe these elusive targets. This also includes the added resource of the author's own images in a "Through the Eyepiece" collection where the images were obtained in the revolutionary short time of 0.15 seconds just to allow the reader to see that, though these objects are supposedly difficult, they are obviously more easily observable than many have claimed. The goal of the author is to attempt to instill in the reader an attitude that each observer when armed with appropriate knowledge and relatively inexpensive equipment in a dark sky can be successful in observing these targets with pleasure. The book includes many helpful diagrams, photographs and helpful hints to make each observational outing the fun adventure that it is meant to be.

Download or read book Nebulae Star Clusters Galaxies written by Wolfgang Steinicke and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies are outside our solar system. They belong to the 'deep sky' and lead the observer to great distances and at the same time the view goes far into the past. The light of the most distant galaxies took billions of years to reach us. No less fascinating is our home galaxy, the Milky Way, offering many bright nebulae and star clusters. The book covers three important topics related to deep-sky objects: history, astrophysics, and observation. When beginners observe an object visually, not knowing anything about it, they will only perceive a faint spot of light - nothing really exciting. So, to get the right 'cosmic' feeling, the view should be enriched with stories about the object's discovery, distance, physical nature, or evolution. Supplied with this kind of information, deep-sky observing becomes a fascinating activity - braving the cold and darkness. Over time, advanced fields such as observation techniques or astrophotography come into play. The book informs the reader about all these topics and offers a comprehensive collection of interesting targets.

Download or read book Observing Nebulae written by Martin Griffiths and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables anyone with suitable instruments to undertake an examination of nebulae and see or photograph them in detail. Nebulae, ethereal clouds of gas and dust, are among the most beautiful objects to view in the night sky. These star-forming regions are a common target for observers and photographers. Griffiths describes many of the brightest and best nebulae and includes some challenges for the more experienced observer. Readers learn the many interesting astrophysical properties of these clouds, which are an important subject of study in astronomy and astrobiology. Non-mathematical in approach, the text is easily accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. A special feature is the inclusion of an observational guide to 70 objects personally observed or imaged by the author. The guide also includes photographs of each object for ease of identification along with their celestial coordinates, magnitudes and other pertinent information. Observing Nebulae provides a ready resource to allow anyone with a little experience in astronomy, whether professional or amateur, to locate, identify and record the nebulae in our home galaxy. The author enables the observer to use a telescope and filters to the best advantage to see these celestial wonders, or to couple filters to a CCD camera or digital SLR camera in order to take quality images of celestial objects. By using these techniques it is even possible to make a valid contribution to professional investigations. And the views are unbeatable.
