annals off the deep sky

[graham56]

wasn't quite sure. where to post this  so where are astronomer's sourcing the annals' off the deep sky now ,flo  are no longer being supplied  , are you importing  and if  so  what the cost and time 

[icpn]

The Webb Soc do import some copies and we are awaiting our next order. AAS/Shop at Sky are very difficult to work with but we hope to have some Annals 10 by PAS. They are a very difficult sell as people think they are too technical and most imagers aren't inot astronomy.

now they are less excecible  think iam going to give up on the annals, 9 years to get 8 volumes, my patience has run out.i estimate another 20 years for the set ,no thanks

well as each volume is self contained and does not rely on future ones make the most of them while they are out.

[graham56]

what would be nice is  a up to date Burnam's celestial hand book  with  j2050 coordinates. produced in 3 volumes all at once now that would be something worth buying it hasn't being. updated since 1976

and never will be. It is a historic document now much like Webb's Celestial Objects for Common telescopes. It is unclear now whether there ever will be a 2050 co-ordinate system.
