Description

In this timeless classic, William Tyler Olcott details the constellations and highlights objects easily seen with the naked eye or binoculars. First published in 1907, A Field Book of the Stars also includes facts and information not found in today's astronomical works. As such, it provides a fascinating historical perspective that's sure to be of interest to both beginners and more experienced amateur astronomers alike. *Includes the original charts and diagrams, plus images of the deep sky objects mentioned in the text. From the Introduction:"Considering the ease with which a knowledge of the constellations can be acquired, it seems a remarkable fact that so few are conversant with these time-honored configurations of the heavens. Aside from a knowledge of "the Dipper" and "the Pleiades," the constellations to the vast majority, are utterly unknown. To facilitate and popularize if possible this fascinating recreation of star-gazing the author has designed this field-book. It is limited in scope solely to that purpose, and all matter of a technical or theoretical nature has been omitted. The endeavor has been to include in these pages only such matter as the reader can observe with the naked eye, or an opera-glass. Simplicity and brevity have been aimed at, the main idea being that whatever is bulky or verbose is a hindrance rather than a help when actually engaged in the observation of the heavens."
