"Double stars for small telescopes"

[cotterless45]

Just a heads up for anyone searching for the remarkable " Double stars for small telescopes" by Sissy Haas. Searching showed up the usual silly prices, until I came across the source, Sky and Telescope

http://www.shopatsky.com/product/Double-Stars-For-Small-Telescopes/books

This is a very worthwhile buy. there are some 2100 entries with practical and historic observations. Ideal targets if you suffer from light pollution or lack of fuzzy targets. Usually the brightest star in a sparse field will be the target on the lists, happy hunting,

Nick.

For the Cambridge Double Star Atlas the best I can suggest is wait until June and visit the IAS. Cambridge U.P. tend to have a display at most of the shows, and they did have one there last year.
