As someone who uses strictly star hopping methods when searching for an object, having the ability to visually confirm a sighting is a tremendous benefit in the field. The descriptions and the directions for finding these objects are also very good. Bottom line: this is a thorough and practical guide to the Herschel 400 objects.It's highly organized and eliminates the guesswork in what I'm going to be viewing in an evening.Well organized and very useful. The charts in the book are not enough on their own for me, so I find a star atlas is a necessary companion, Sky Atlas 2000.0 is my first choice.Very valuable resource.Muy bien organizado.Me hubiese gustado encuadernado en anillas porque su uso es a pie de telescopio. Le he marcado con lapiz las lineas de constelacion para saber mejor donde estamos mirando. Para hacerlo servir se requieren telescopios de abertura moderada(minimo 130mm) y cielos oscuros. Un saludo. ToniDemasiado floja y con tendencia a deteriorarse en los picos. Recomiendo tapa dura.

The 110 or so objects in the Messier Catalog introduced the observer to the importance of careful observing and record keeping. Upon completion of this project, however, the amateur was left somewhat in a void. He or she wanted to further the quest for deep-sky objects, but outside of the vast New General Catalog, there was no organized program that would provide that next vital step upward. With this idea in mind, the formation of the Herschel Observing Program began.
Augustine, Florida, who had recently completed the Messier Observing Program noticed a letter in Sky and Telescope magazine from James Mullaney of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mr. Mullaney alerted amateurs to the William Herschel Catalog of deep-sky objects, and suggested this would be a good project to get into after completion of the Messier Lists. He went on to say that Herschel's listings could be found in the original New General Catalog by Johann Dreyer, available from the Royal Astronomical Society in England. Ancient City Astronomy Club (A. C. A. C.) members began the difficult process of separating his objects, which used a rather unique classification system with eight sub-categories; each individual object was placed into a particular subcategory. These subcategories are: We of the A.C.A.C. decided that the proposed Herschel Observing Program should consist of enough objects to present a distinct challenge, yet still be within range of amateurs who possessed only modest equipment and were affected by moderate light-pollution problems. After considerable study, we set 400 as the best number of objects to comprise the Herschel Observing Program. Our main references through this process were the Atlas of the Heavens and Atlas of the Heavens Catalog by Antonin Becvar. These two volumes are readily available to the amateur astronomer and contain all the positions, magnitudes and other pertinent data used in this Observing Program. All descriptions have been taken from observations by two or more members of the A. C. A. C.; most of these observations were made from within the city of St. Augustine, with approximately 14,000 population, in average to good sky conditions. The faintest unaided eye visible star at zenith was about 5.5 magnitude in most cases. You will notice a few Messier objects in the listings, also the Double Cluster, along with most of the brighter deep-sky objects that did not find their way into Messier's Catalog.
However, beyond these few bright ones, the rest of the Herschel Observing Program objects are faint and inconspicuous. The Virgo galaxy field along with the Monoceros Milky Way will present the toughest challenges. Anyone just starting out should go for the Messier Observing Program first, this will provide the basic groundwork that this project is built on. To those who engage in or complete work on the Herschel Observing Program you can be assured that you will know the sky and the instrument you are using; you will also know your own observing skill. Finally, you will have the curiosity and knowledge that are so important when studying the vast and beautiful universe that we live in. If you are not a member and would like to become one, check with your local astronomical society, search for a local society on the Astronomical League Website ( click here ), or join as a member at large ( click here ). Either object may be used to achieve the Herschel 400 Observing Program certification. If you are working from the list on the website, then there is an object NGC 7814 on the list. We will be updating the list on the website. Your collection of 400 observations may contain either one. This officer can then email the Observing Program Coordinator. Your name will also appear in an upcoming issue of the Reflector magazine and in the Astronomical League’s on-line database. Congratulations. Good luck with your next observing challenge.

Among his many astronomical achievements, he was the first to sight Halley's Comet on its 1985 return; he noticed the dark 'spokes' in Saturn's B ring before the Voyager 1 spacecraft imaged them; and he was the first person to determine the rotation period of the distant planet Uranus.

Their work has appeared in the National Geographic magazine, and on television. He is sought after internationally for his dynamic lectures on astronomy and volcano topics.

However, the fascinating history of the discovery, observation, description and cataloguing of nebulae and star clusters in the nineteenth century has largely gone untold, until now. This well-researched book is the first comprehensive historical study of the NGC, and is an important resource to all those with an interest in the history of modern astronomy and visual deep-sky observing. It covers the people, observatories, instruments and methods involved in nineteenth-century visual deep-sky observing, as well as prominent deep-sky objects. The book also compares the NGC to modern object data, demonstrating how important the NGC is in observational astronomy today. The visual appearance of a Messier object is often very different from what can be imaged with the same telescope, and a special feature of this book is that it shows what you can see with a small telescope. It will also contain binocular descriptions of some objects.Messier published the final version of his catalog in 1781 (it contains 103 different objects), a catalog so good that it is still in common use today, well over two centuries later. In making a catalog of all the 'fixed' deep-sky objects that observers might confuse with comets, Messier had succeeded in listing all the major interesting deep-sky objects that today are targets for amateur astronomers.Messier's telescope (thought to be a 4-inch) was, by today's amateur standards, small. It also had rather poor optics by modern standards. Thus - and despite the fact that he was a master observer - all the things Messier saw can be found and observed by any observer using a commercial 127 mm (5-inch) telescope. Observing the Messier Objects with a Small Telescope lets the reader follow in Messier's footsteps by observing the Messier objects more or less as the great man saw them himself!
