Need some books

[Nova2000]

Hi. 

I learned messier objects by reading a book written by a local astronomer and it was very helpful. 

Do you'll know any more books on observation? H400, ic, ngc, Caldwell etc. 

I really need a book as using Mobile phones in dark sites makes my eyes pain. 

Thankyou

Hi I have an old copy of "Observing Handbook and Catalogue of Deep-Sky Objects" by Lunginbuhl & Skiff which has 2000 objects. I no longer use it so it yours for the postage if you would like it. Just PM me your address. No problem if you don't want it. 

Regards Andrew

It will be expensive to import stuff, due to the demonitization that has taken place. U would have loved to have it. But unfortunately can't.

Hi I would be very interested in the book if you would like to post it I too want more books as I have just got EQ5 goto and a 200p.

hi nova, what kind of book is it you are after? Information, finder charts, star maps, catalogue listings?

here is a resource that I find very useful: http://www.astronomylogs.com/pages/finderchart.html

The book usually recommended on this site for learning your way around the night sky is Turn Left at Orion. It is good but to be honest I have found The Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders to be even more useful.

Turn left Orion is perhaps the best I have come across so far. Its very very easy to understand.

Ok

+1 Turn left at Orion

Also agree on turn left, but I too found The Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders better. Far more objects, better charts and organised by constellation. Really is an excellent book.
