I wouldn't need books at all if SNP+ had more info on the objects. As we all know a lot of DSO's look the same as the next one. The wonder and awe is often the context of the object, the information about it. While SNP+ is probably better than most or all in this regard already, I can't help but notice that most DSO's just have generic object type info in the info pane.
ie. Galaxy NGC **** just has a description of what a galaxy is in the info pane rather than a description of this particular galaxy, No info about best magnification to use or appropriate apeture size.
It seems like every object I have to do this myself, ie, see is it worth looking at with my scope and if it is start cycling the EP's till I have found the right mag. Of course one can filter displayed galazies by mag limit but that can be decieving.
I don't suppose there are any plug-ins for SNP that expands the information for each object or provides appeture and mag recommendations
