[edit] LIGHT POLLUTION

This work considers the available strategies open to astronomers to get rid of the light pollution and minimize its effects by using the correct instrumentation. It contains an extensive catalogue of deep-sky and other objects that can be seen from variously light-polluted sites.

Light-pollution is the modern scourge of optical astronomy. More and more observing sites are being lost as the glare of city lighting blots out the night sky. Professional astronomical observatories are located far from cities, but amateur astronomers often do not have this luxury. This book considers the two available strategies open to astronomers - get rid of the light pollution by lobbying Authorities and Standards Organisations, and minimise its effects by using the correct instrumentation. The book contains an extensive detailed catalogue of deep-sky and other objects that - despite what one might believe - can be seen from variously light-polluted sites, for practical observers.
