It contains a series of detailed maps showing the entire night sky, as well as a wealth of useful astronomical data. It is suitable for use anywhere in the world.This popular star atlas is now in its fifth edition, for which it has been fully revised and updated. It presents the sky in a series of 18 maps, showing stars down to magnitude 5.1. This includes all stars visible to the naked eye in semi-rural conditions.Accompanying the star maps is a brief round-up of the basics of astronomy, including celestial coordinates, the ecliptic, magnitudes, spectral types, constellation and star names, the Solar System, the movements of the Sun and the Moon, eclipses and deep-sky objects. Clear and colourful diagrams help to explain these sometimes complicated concepts for the less-experienced observer.In addition, Philip's Pocket Star Atlas includes a series of tables packed with useful practical information, such as the position and brightness of the deep-sky objects marked on the maps, dates of forthcoming solar and lunar eclipses, dates for when best to observe Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, plus the dates of the major meteor showers.
Download or read book Philip s Night Sky Atlas written by Robin Scagell and published by Philip's. This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and now in its third edition, Philip's Night Sky Atlas is a highly practical star atlas that can be used anywhere in the world and at any time of the year. With a sturdy, damp-proof binding, it is the ideal choice for the backyard astronomer using binoculars or a small telescope. It contains all the maps you need to learn your way around the night sky, whether you want to find remote galaxies, sketch lunar craters or make estimates of variable stars. Author Robin Scagell explains what you can see, what equipment (if any) you will need and how to make the most of your time under the stars. The star maps are by Wil Tirion, the world-renowned celestial cartographer. The eight sky maps together show the whole of the night sky. Stars down to magnitude 5.5 are marked, together with the brighter deep-sky objects. They are drawn on a white background so that you can add your own pencil notes or observations to the maps. Opposite each of the sky maps is a photo-realistic version of the same map. In addition, constellation maps show numerous deep-sky targets, with interesting objects described in detail. A Moon map, split into quadrants, is accompanied by suggestions of what to look for, with images of the most interesting features. The author also describes how to observe and record the planets, the Sun, meteors, eclipses, comets and deep-sky objects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you remember being impressed by a c1ear starry sky? Look at the Milky Way through binoculars and it will reveal its many hundreds of thousands of stars, double stars, stellar clusters, and nebulae. If you are a new ob server, it is not that easy to find your way in this swarm of stars, but this atlas tries to make it as easy as possible. So now it is not just experienced amateurs that can enjoy looking at the heavens. Two additional observing aids are recommended. The first is a plani sphere, where one can dial in the time and day in order to see which constellations are visible and where they are in the sky. The second is an astronomical yearbook. It lists the current positions of the planets and all important phenomena. So, let us begin our journey around the night sky, and see what the universe can reveal to us! Facing page, top: The constellation Cygnus (Swan) in the midst of the northern Milky Way. The photograph gives an impression of the uncountable stars in our Milky Way. This becomes more conspicuous when you sweep through Cygnus with binoculars. Under a very dark sky, one can try to find the North America Nebula, Pelican Nebula, and Veil Nebula (see p. 47). These are difficult nebulae and are only barely visible on this photograph as weIl.

Download or read book interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas written by Ronald Stoyan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas heralds a new era of celestial cartography. It is an innovative, practical tool to choose and find stars, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Usually, deep sky objects are shown with just a standard symbol in the star charts. This atlas is different: all objects are shown according to their actual visibility. Four main visibility classes separate out objects that can be seen through 4-, 8- and 12-inch telescopes. Within each visibility class, the objects are labeled in different type weights and using graduated shades and colors for the symbols - the bolder the label or the darker the symbol, the easier it is to see the object. Spiral-bound and printed in red-light friendly colors on fully waterproof material, this full-sky atlas has a limiting magnitude of 9.5, plotting over 200,000 stars. It is the ideal companion for amateur observers of all levels.
