THIS IS DEEP-SKY WONDERS by WALTER SCOTT HOUSTON. A SUPERB ASTRONOMY PAPERBACK. DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS:
Between 1946 and 1994, the noted American observer, Walter Scott Houston, wrote the Deep Sky Wonders column for Sky & Telescope magazine, entertaining several generations of amateur astronomers across the English-speaking world. His great personal knowledge of the deep sky and enthusiasm to share his experiences were downright infectious. With beautiful prose and just the right amount of technical detail, Houstons writings presented delightful word pictures of the many deep sky objects that adorn the night sky. The present work, first published in 1999 by Sky Publishing Corporation, represents a distillation of his writings which appeared a few short years after his untimely passing in December 1993. Sky & Telescope contributing editor Stephen O’Meara presents month-by-month selections from Scotty Houston’s popular “Deep-Sky Wonders” column, which ran from 1946 until 1994 (after his death in December 1993). Each chapter includes commentary by O’Meara and a table showing the location and characteristics of each object discussed.
