Beschreibung

Messier's catalog of 110 star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies is the most popular list of deep sky gems. 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.

Über den Autor

Ronald Stoyan was born in Dresden in 1972. A geographer by education, he became interested in visual astronomical observation at the age of 16. He has since developed an international reputation as an experienced planetary and deep-sky observer and drawer. He was the founding director of the German deep-sky organization 'Fachgruppe Deep-Sky' and served as Jupiter and Saturn recorder for the German-speaking planetary observers. For twenty-four years he was editor-in-chief of interstellarum, one of the country's main astronomical magazines, which he founded in 1994, and senior editor for its successor, Abenteuer Astronomie. In 2000, he founded Oculum-Verlag as Germany's first exclusive astronomical publishing company. He has authored and coauthored more than a dozen books on practical astronomy, the best known of which are the interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas and its companion, the interstellarum Deep Sky Guide.
