The Photographic Atlas of the Stars

by H.J.P. Arnold, Patrick Moore, Paul Doherty

H J P Arnold has captured the entire night sky from locations throughout the northern and southern hemisphere in 50 photographs, each taken using a wide-angle lens. The colour plates are presented here to exceptionally high standards of reproduction, and each plate is accompanied by a map of the identical area which identifies the main stars of the constituent constellations, as well as other interesting astronomical objects. Patrick Moore has written a commentary to each plate, high-lighting stars and objects of interest to an observer equipped with binoculars, and provides detailed tabular information on astronomical objects of the region.
