  This is the only practical guide to observing truly spectacular astronomical objects from less than perfect locations. This is the only book to deal in depth with the application of image intensifiers to real-time astronomy. It gives advice on viewing objects, and on making realistic images by drawing or video. It includes extensive catalogs of spectacular objects that can be seen from suburban sites in both hemispheres.
