PDF-(READ)-Deep-Sky Companions: The Messier Objects

If there were a canon for viewing the night sky Charles Messier would be its author The galaxies star clusters and nebulae cataloged by the famous comet hunter in the late 1700s are still the most widely observed celestial wonders in the heavens They are the favorite targets of amateur astronomers with such rich variety and detail that they never cease to fascinate This book provides new and experienced observers with a fresh perspective on the Messier objects Stephen James OMeara has prepared a visual feast for the observer Using the finest optical telescopes available for amateur work he describes and sketches the view from the telescope as never before There are new drawings improved finder charts and new astronomical data on each object including findings from the Hubble Space Telescope Expand your universe and test your viewing acumen with this truly modern Messier Guide It is a must for budding night watchers Stephen James OMeara is a contributing editor to Sky and Telescope. in the Milky Way with my unaided eyes than I can see in any other galaxy with the largest telescope I have ever used.

President Trump blames the deep state for his impeachment. But what is the American deep state and does it really exist?To conservatives, the “deep state” is an ever-growing government bureaucracy, an administrative state that relentlessly encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals fear the military-industrial complex—a cabal of generals and defense contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. Every modern American president—from Carter to Trump—has engaged in power struggles with Congress, the CIA, and the FBI. Every CIA and FBI director has suspected White House aides of members of Congress of leaking secrets for political gain. Frustrated Americans increasingly distrust the politicians, unelected officials, and journalists who they believe unilaterally set the country’s political agenda. American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a half century.This sweeping exploration examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past fifty years, from the Church Committee’s exposure of Cold War abuses, to Abscam, to false intelligence about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy theories online and on-air. While Trump says he is the victim of the deep state, Democrats accuse the president and his allies of running a de facto deep state of their own that operates outside official government channels and smears rivals, both real and perceived.The feverish debate over the deep state raises core questions about the future of American democracy. Is it possible for career government officials to be politically neutral? Was Congress’s impeachment of Donald Trump conducted properly? How vast should the power of a president be? Based on dozens of interviews with career CIA operatives and FBI agents, In Deep answers whether the FBI, CIA, or politicians are protecting or abusing the public’s trust. This is the most detailed guide to observing galaxies, clusters and nebulae available in a single volume. The objects included range from those visible in binoculars to faint galaxies requiring a 30 cm telescope. For most objects descriptions are given for a range of telescope apertures the catalogue contains data not available elsewhere. This compilation of data on deep-sky objects covers Messier objects, New General Catalogue objects and Index Catalogue objects. These are classified as galaxies, clusters and nebulae of which 500 individual objects are listed. Observing the deep-sky beyond the limits of the Solar System is by far the most popular speciality for amateur astronomers. Two major catalogs of deep-sky objects are widely used: Messier\'s catalogue of 109 objects and the New General Catalog (NGC) which contains thousands of objects. This catalog has entries for each of more than 500 deep-sky objects - all the Messier objects plus selected NGC objects. As well as the usual astronomical data they also detail physical factors, astrophysical information, evolution, ans unusual features. The objects are all listed in NGC order, which were originally assigned in approximate order of location from west to east, convenient for reference because objects that can be seen on a given night will occur within a few pages of each other in the book. The Caldwell Catalogue, compiled by the late Sir Patrick Moore (1923-2012), has delighted amateur astronomers worldwide since its publication in 1995. Twenty years on, Stephen James O\'Meara revisits his guide to these 109 deep-sky delights, breathing new life into them and the 20 additional observing targets included as an appendix. This second edition retains O\'Meara\'s detailed visual descriptions and sketches, accompanied by stunning new images taken by amateur photographer Mario Motta and observations by Magda Streicher. The astrophysical descriptions have been updated to account for the many advances in our understanding of the objects, not least due to an armada of space-borne observatories and the new technologies used in large ground-based telescopes. Ideal for observers who have completed the Messier objects and are looking for their next challenge, Deep-Sky Companions: The Caldwell Objects is a fitting tribute from a renowned visual observer to one of astronomy\'s most famous personalities.
