Many amateur astronomers live in or near cities and have to carry out
their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. Fortunately this
is not the problem it used to be, and a combination of skill, observing
techniques, and modern technology - such as image-intensifiers - can now
be used to astonishing effect to view the night sky in real-time.
Illustrating the book with images and some of his own superb drawings,
Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most spectacular
objects from less than perfect observing sites.
