描述 | .Observing the Messier Objects with a Small Telescope contains descriptions and photographs of the 103 Messier objects, with instructions on how to find them without a computerized telescope or even setting circles.

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 |
