Uranometria

This page leads to descriptions of many of the objects in the Uranometria star atlas. http://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/borley/49/ilist.htm
As an example look here for descriptions of NGC 3532. http://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/b...27.htm#NGC3532

I ordered my copies online from Bintel, they have them in stock
Fantastic resource, well worth money, full set costs well over $300, as much as a good eyepiece, but definitely worth it, I have found dozens of DSO's that would be impossible to locate otherwise.

I have the complete set too, 2000 epoch edition. Vol 1 & 2 brought from
Sirius Optics @ Astrofest QLD. And Vol 3 the field guide through Bintel
Sydney. It's a must have! especially if you have or intend to get into mid
to large aperture scopes. I dont usually use it in the field, I used it more
as a reference. To important and expensive to let it absorb dew.

Be nice if they brought out a laminated version.

Cheers,CS

The whole set has 220 maps. Each takes up two pages, and they are a large format book. There are 110 maps in each of Vol 1 and 2 (there is some overlap) Volume 3 is basically an index of all the DSO's and is much thicker again.

I bought mine directly from Willmann-Bell. Much cheaper. http://www.willbell.com/atlas/index.htm

Along with the Night Sky Observer's Guide
