Editorial Review

Product Description
The theme for this year's conference is "Space Exploration and Transportation: Journey into the Future." The proceedings document the most recent advances in a number of key areas of space science, engineering, and technology, as well as on the current potential and future opportunities for space science on board the international space station. It covers topics ranging from basic research to the most recent advances in hardware development, space exploration missions, space commercialization, next generation launch systems, human physiology in space, breakthrough propulsion physics, interstellar propulsion, material processing in microgravity, and spaceport development. It is an excellent forum for interaction among members of academia, industry, and government, and among program managers and managers of space technologies worldwide. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

Guide to Observing Deep-Sky Objects is a reference book for amateur astronomers. It contains, for each constellation, a star chart showing the Bayer labels, a table for many of the stars in the constellation, along with their positions and magnitudes, and a table of the deep-sky objects in the constellation, with relevant observational data. Facing pages provide unique year-long graphs that show when the constellation is visible in the sky, allowing the user to quickly determine whether a given constellation can be seen, and when the best time to see it will be.

A major feature is an included CD-ROM containing a PC program [unique as far as we can determine] that produces a list of what deep-sky objects are visible in the sky at a user-determined time and place, for any location on the Earth. It produces a convenient and (disposable!) list that the user can take to the telescope for an observing session.

4-0 out of 5 stars Useful but uninspiring
There is not much to this book.There are nine pages of introduction, mostly about the software included on the accompanying CD.The remainder of the book consists of descriptions of all the constellations.Each constellation has two pages devoted to it, comprising a diagram, a list of its bright stars and their coordinates, a list of deep sky objects classified according to the scheme galaxy, globular cluster, planetary nebula etc and a diagram showing rising and setting times of the constellation throughout the year.Here the author displays typical northern hemisphere bias.The charts are for mid-northern latitudes and are obviously computer generated.I expect it would have taken very little effort to generate similar charts for mid-southern latitudes, but it never seems to occur to many people that there are actually astronomers in the Southern Hemisphere.

I have not seriously used the software yet, but I expect that this is the most useful part of the book.It appears to be straightforward to use.Essentially, you enter your location and time and indicate which objects you want to look at (nebulae, galaxies, clusters etc--multiple choices are possible) above a given magnitude.This generates a nice looking file which lists each object, its constellation, classification, coordinates, magnitude, size and a brief description (eg The Snake Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy).It would have been nice to have generated transit times as well.

I expect this book (especially the software) to be a useful resource in planning an observing or imaging session, at least as a first run. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Received book promptly
Very good transaction overall. Book was described as new, however was not wrapped in the plastic,instead the plastic was thrown inside the box.

4-0 out of 5 stars Textbook
This textbook was in good shape too bad it wasn't the edition I wanted but that is my fault i guess.

3-0 out of 5 stars Can be hard to understand
This book is interesting enough, but was very hard to understand sometimes. At times during reading i would have to look up several words just to try to grasp what the writer was talking about. I would reccomend this book to someone who is seeking a more in depth look into Astronomy. Gives lots of good information and comes with a very imformative computer program that provides several tutorials on how to use it. Good book, too indepth for this reader.

4-0 out of 5 stars HOU Required Text
This book is great. Along with the media it serves as a guide to understand the most boring class you will ever take in GSP @ NYU!

4-0 out of 5 stars It does the job of teaching about astronomy
This book does the job it is designed to do, and it is written well, so it is relatively easy to understand. I recommend this book. ... Read more

The simulations included in this volume cover: Stellar Evolution, The Interior Model of Star, Binary Stars, The Motion of n Bodies, Galactic Kinematics, Stellar Pulsation, and Stellar Atmospheres. These simulations include complex, often realistic, calculations of models of various physical systems. If desired, the user may also vary many parameters of the system, and interact with it in other ways, so as to study its behavior in real time. Source code has been provided for users who wish to modify programs. All of the programs are written in Borland/Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS. Minimum hardware requirement is an IBM-compatible 386-level machine with mouse and VGA color monitor. The disk(s) included in this package are 5.5???. ... Read more
