The astronomy book I wish I'd written

There are not many astronomy books that I recommend so wholeheartedly, so completely that I get this excited about them. But when a book has all the ingredients necessary for visual AND photographic amateur astronomers to quickly and easily find the very best galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, binary stars and variable stars, it's difficult to contain the enthusiasm, as is evident in my video here about the Observer's Sky Atlas by Erich Karkoschka published by Firefly Books.

This book was provided to me for free by Firefly Books for the purpose of reviewing it. But I so thoroughly appreciate and value what all this book contains, I would have bought it no questions asked had I seen it in a store or online previously. And the only reason I agreed to review it was because when they asked me, I truly did not want to review any books at that time - but I read a bit about what the book was and what others had said about previous editions, and it really, REALLY intrigued me.

I am glad I did.

I hope that if you decide to get this book, you find it as useful as I have already found it to be. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any visual of photographic amateur astronomer who wants to quickly and easily track down objects to see or image without a lengthy process to try and find something different or new to see/capture.
