It covers a wide range of topics including the moon, planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed introduction to telescopes, their construction, and how to use them for observing celestial objects. It also covers the basics of astronomy, including the motions of the planets, the phases of the moon, and the constellations. The second part of the book is a catalog of celestial objects that can be observed with a common telescope. It includes detailed descriptions of each object, including its location, size, and appearance. The catalog is organized by object type, making it easy to find specific objects of interest. Celestial Objects For Common Telescopes is a valuable resource for amateur astronomers and anyone interested in observing the night sky. Its clear and concise descriptions make it easy to understand and use, and its comprehensive catalog makes it a must-have for any stargazer's library.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
