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.
