Most amateur astronomers, because they live in or near cities, have to
carry out their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. It is
possible to reduce the effects of a poor location by the use of CCD
imaging, but many observers prefer to look at astronomical objects rather
than photograph them.
Skill, observing techniques, and modern technology - such as image
intensifiers - can now be used to astonishing effect to observe the night
sky in real-time. Illustrating the book with images and some of his own
superb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most
spectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites.
