Title: A DeepSky Companion
Review: I have a subscription on Sky&Telescope; magazine and I always read Sue Frenchs column "Deep Sky Wonders". Now she has compiled these columns in a book and ordered them by season and month.In general I find it a very nice book, with good clear charts, nice photos and some drawings. More drawings would have been welcome, as they show better what you actually see at the eyepiece. Reading the book wants you to get out of your chair and observe the marvels described.One effect of the compilation of individual columns is that there is some overlap: several objects are treated in two or three chapters. This is no handicap, as objects are written in bold and can thus be found easily in the main text.There is plenty for everybody, whether you are 'just' using binoculars or have a scope small or big.Last but not least: its really Sue French who wrote this book and should get due credit for it, Richard Fienberg 'only' wrote the foreword.Highly recommended!
