This magnificent atlas contains the most attractive and interesting
double and multiple stars for viewing with binoculars and
telescopes. It is a must-have for stargazers who want to explore
these fascinating objects. The first modern star atlas devoted to
double and multiple stars, it plots over 2,000 selected pairs of
stars, each labeled with discoverer, catalog, and/or observatory
designations. A superb introduction to this important class of
celestial objects, it is spiral bound and printed in red-light
friendly colors, making it ideal for use in the field. Written by
experienced observer James Mullaney, and beautifully illustrated by
renowned celestial cartographer Wil Tirion, it provides an
easy-to-use 'celestial roadmap' to locate and identify double and
multiple stars. Other deep-sky objects such as star clusters,
nebulae, and galaxies are also included, and are color-coded for
easy recognition and identification, making this an all-purpose
observing reference.
