<P>Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies within reach of amateur astronomers. And it isnt even necessary to image many of these deep-sky objects in order to see them; they are within reach of visual observers using modern techniques and enhancement technology.</P><P></P><P>The first requirement is truly dark skies; if you are observing from a light-polluted environment you need Tony Cookes book,<STRONG>Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs</STRONG>. Given a site with clear, dark night skies everything else follows this book will provide the reader with everything he needs to know about what to observe, and using some of todays state-of-the-art technique and commercial equipment, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects.</P>
