Description - Astronomy of the Milky Way: The Observer's Guide to the Southern/Northern Sky: Part 1 by Mike Inglis
The Milky Way spans the entire sky and can be seen every night of the year from anywhere on Earth. This book deals specifically with what can be seen within the Milky Way from a practical observer's point of view. It covers every constellation that the Milky Way passes through, and describes in detail the many objects that can be found therein, including stars, double and multiple stars, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, dark nebulae and supernovae remnants, open and galactic clusters, and galaxies. It also describes the star clouds of the Milky Way itself. This two-volume set deals with the entire Milky Way - the first volume looks at what can be seen predominantly from the Northern Skies, and the second, the Southern Skies. In addition to the descriptive text there are many star charts and maps, as well as images made by observatories around the world and in space, and images taken by amateur astronomers. Equipped with this book, an amateur astronomer can go out on any clear night of the year and observe the galaxy we live in - The Milky Way.
