Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, First Printing. A FIELD GUIDE TO THE CLASSIC DEEP-SKY OBJECTS. An extensively illustrated observing guide to the 109 galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters associated with Charles Messier's celebrated eighteenth-century catalogue.

Illustrated throughout with astronomical photographs, detailed observational drawings, finder charts, diagrams, and maps. Includes a large two-page celestial chart locating the Messier objects.

Charles Messier compiled his catalogue primarily to distinguish persistent deep-sky objects from the comets he sought, yet those galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters became some of the most familiar targets in amateur astronomy. O'Meara approaches them from the perspective of an accomplished visual observer, emphasizing what can actually be found and perceived through a telescope rather than simply presenting astronomical data.
