Deep-Sky Companions: The Caldwell Objects

As the title says, this is a fantastic book. Extremely well written and readable, full of interesting information. Not too 'techie' either. The ONLY thing that lets it down are the images which are black and white - if only they were in colour... Even so, it's still 5 stars for me.

Excellent book well laid out ,all the information you will need to locate the caldwell objects ,highly recommend .

Ich habe beide dieser Serie, also auch die Messier Objekte - eine sehr feine Aufstellung, viel gute Information und interessante Details. Nur schade, dass alle Aufnahmen nur in SW sind..

I recently completed with installation of East Africa's first dedicated, astronomical observatory and telescope with Astronomers Without Borders. As such, we brought a number of books to add to the growing library. The "Deep-Sky Companions" series is exactly what we needed to engage the budding amateur astronomers in Tanzania. Once the basics of RA, Dec, and magnitude were understood, they were able to use these books as guides much as we would an atlas for Earth-based geography, scanning the pages for those objects they can see from the equator at this time of year. When combined with Stellarium, these books are unbeatable as rapid references with ample information to bring the night sky to life.

Excellent pour apprendre le ciel profond de cadwell et avoir de l’information.

This book is one of my favorite guide books. I was constantly borrowing it from my local library until it disappeared so I had to buy it for myself.

A great revision to one of the best works of Stephen James O'Meara.
