Any good astronomy books?

Woah great list of books here!! Will have to do some research on them. Thanks all!

I'm not obsessed!!!

I have a few more that will have to wait until I get a bigger bookshelf
And of course there are my "most thumbed" that pretty much live next to my telescope.

The next on the list will be the "Atlas of Messier Objects", "Astronomica", "The Sky is NOT the Limit", "The Elegant Universe", and "The Quantum Universe".

If you want indepth then may i suggest the Cambridge Astrophysics line.
Theres ~50 books in the series (no, don't buy them all! they are expensive) and all are really well presented and go into great depth (as you'd expect of an astrophysics book).

Currently reading Pulsars, and apart from the mathematics, its extremely interesting and well worth the $120 i payed.

Available in AU as well but most stores want stupid amounts of money for it. Amazon was by far the cheapest when i bought it.

Hi there,
Not really a specific book or books but I can recommend Clouston &Hall booksellers from Canberra. They have quite often good cheap books on Science and Astronomy. They are online www.cloustonandhall.com.au and do mail orders.

Clear skies, Huey
