商品描述

Anyone interested in astronomy battles with the conveniences of modern living – street lights, advertising and security lighting, tall buildings, and even the occasional tree. More than 85% of the population now lives in crowded and light-polluted towns and cities. 

This book is for those who live in or near towns and cities and own relatively modest equipment, although observers with larger instruments will still find many of the target objects of interest. The book encourages the use of star-hopping techniques to find objects in the night sky.

Included is a list of 100 popular deep sky objects, ranked according to how difficult they are to find. Each object is described and has companion star-hopping charts, images and sometimes sketches. As a result, readers can gain a sense of their own backyard view from Earth. There is also a top 30 list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to make the most of your location.

Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A Star-Hopper’s Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen and how, regardless of the obstacles.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

任何對天文學感興趣的人都會與現代生活的便利性作鬥爭——街燈、廣告和安全照明、高樓大廈,甚至偶爾的樹木。現在超過85%的人口生活在擁擠且光污染的城鎮和城市中。

本書適合那些居住在城鎮或城市附近並擁有相對簡單設備的人,儘管擁有更大儀器的觀測者仍然會發現許多有趣的目標物體。本書鼓勵使用星際跳躍技術來尋找夜空中的物體。

書中包含了一份100個受歡迎的深空物體列表,根據尋找的難易程度進行排名。每個物體都有描述,並附有伴隨的星際跳躍圖表、圖片,有時還有草圖。因此,讀者可以從地球的後院視角獲得一種感受。此外,還有30個月球物體的排名列表、一個行星觀測的部分、受歡迎的天文應用程式和軟體的註解列表,以及如何充分利用您所在位置的提示。

《郊區天空下的觀星:星際跳躍者指南》是了解可以看到什麼以及如何看到的必備伴侶,無論面臨什麼障礙。
