What sets this list apart and makes it famous? It all started with Charles Messier, the French comet hunter, who encountered these fuzzy, comet-like objects while searching for comets. Little did he know, he had stumbled upon star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies - breathtaking celestial sights waiting to be explored. Modern astronomers later expanded his list to include 110 objects, and they are truly some of the finest wonders of the night sky.
With "110 Things to See With a Telescope," you'll have everything you need to find and experience each deep sky object in Messier's list. We provide star maps and written directions for each target, making it easy for you to locate them using the technique of star-hopping. To ensure you're seeing the right object, you'll find an "eyepiece view" image on each page to confirm your observation.
But that's not all! We've also included observing tips from two seasoned stargazers to enhance your experience and provide interesting facts about each object. Additionally, we highlight nearby objects that you might want to check out for an even more enriching stargazing session. It's a comprehensive guide that ensures you won't miss out on any celestial wonders.
As you embark on your stargazing journey, the book conveniently presents the objects in their recommended viewing order, whether it's by season or during an all-night marathon. Each page features an observation log, allowing you to keep track of your progress and adventure through the night sky. Plus, once you've observed every object, you can apply for a prestigious Messier Observing Certificate from the Astronomical League and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Instructions for the certificate application are provided in the book's appendix.
