A Field Guide to Deep-Sky ObjectsFaint, Far Away and Invisible

A Field Guide to Deep-Sky Objects: Faint, Far Away and Invisible [After seeing the title of this chapter you’re probably wondering what possible objects exist are that can be listed as faint, far away and invisible, and still be of interest to an amateur astronomer! But there are a few, if you think about it. Up to this point we have just covered objects that are familiar to nearly every amateur astronomer – stars, nebulae and galaxies – but in fact you’re familiar with quite a few other objects that you undoubtedly have read about in other books or astronomy magazines but always assumed they were not visible using amateur equipment.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[After seeing the title of this chapter you’re probably wondering what possible objects exist are that can be listed as faint, far away and invisible, and still be of interest to an amateur astronomer! But there are a few, if you think about it. Up to this point we have just covered objects that are familiar to nearly every amateur astronomer – stars, nebulae and galaxies – but in fact you’re familiar with quite a few other objects that you undoubtedly have read about in other books or astronomy magazines but always assumed they were not visible using amateur equipment.]
