O'Meara. Charles Messier (1730-1817) devoted much of his life to searching the skies for comets. As he continued his comet hunting, Messier added other curious deep-sky objects to the list, largely with help from a young rival, Pierre Mechain. By 1781 the Messier catalog had grown to 103 entries. Two centuries later, backyard observers still consider many of the "M" objects the jewels of the night sky; all are splendid targets for viewing with binoculars and small telescopes.
This is an excellent introduction to observational astronomy for beginners of all ages. Aimed at those with no background in science or astronomy - just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to step outside their backdoor and look up. The author covers what you can see with a pair of binoculars, tips for choosing binoculars for astronomy and practical tips for observing. A large section of the book is dedicated to information about the types of objects visible as well as a detailed tour through 56 constellations visible from the southern hemisphere.

In addition, this atlas has some of the world’s finest colour astrophotos, inverted and labelled photos pointing to hidden details and neighboring objects, as well as historical sketches alongside new deep sky drawings. Quite simply, this is the most far-reaching and beautiful reference on the Messier objects there has ever been, and one that no observer should be without! * Features 200 halftone sketches, 180 full colour plates with 50 tables.
