challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and

advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and

deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar

landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost

planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant

galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a

rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth

visual de*ion, an illustration showing how the object

realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find

each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces
