cheap intro to deep sky objects

[mister_wavey]

I don't own a copy, but for the price of postage, this intro book has some good reviews: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Observing-Deep-Sky-Astronomers-Companion/dp/1861267851/

I am going to give it a go...looks too good to be true though.

I have a copy - too good as you say. It's kind of like a pocket version of TLAO in that the views given are drawn as seen through the eyepiece. Lots of info on gear, chapter on sketching etc and a bit more list oriented then TL. A good book - I like it.

Forgot to add - nice section on double stars too.

I had a copy, but gave it away to a good chap who bought a Dob. It's excellent and the drawings show what you'll see, not Hubble pictures. Really recommended,

Nick.
