520 1 $a"The Herschel Objects and How to Observe Them offers an exciting opportunity to retrace the footsteps of Sir William Herschel, discoverer of Uranus and arguably the greatest visual observer and celestial explorer that ever lived!" "Following a biography of Herschel's life and times, a look at his various handmade telescopes, an overview of his classification system, and techniques for viewing his discoveries, this practical observing guide then reviews the most impressive of his star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies." "More than 600 of the brighter Herschel objects are listed, and there are detailed visual descriptions and images of some 200 of the very best sights for viewing with backyard telescopes."--BOOK JACKET.
