Amateur astronomers are entering a new and exciting era, and this thoroughly modern and up-to-date guide is designed to make the most of the latest technologies. This unique guide, based on the author's own field notes from his career as an amateur astronomer, approaches the night sky from both traditional and innovative approaches. In addition to the usual techniques, it presents the most modern resources such as personal computers, the Internet and computerized telescopes. It also includes practical advice on issues such as the choice of observing site or meteorological aspects. It offers detailed instructions for observing the Sun, Moon, planets and all kinds of diffuse objects, and explains how to get started with the latest practices, such as observing artificial satellites or using astronomical data banks. The book ends with detailed information and tips for observing a selection of 200 objects including stars, clusters, nebulae and galaxies that are interesting to observe with medium-sized telescopes from residential areas in the vicinity of urban centers. Celestial Objects for Modern Telescopes is a new work for a new way of observing, and will become the vanguard of the manuals dedicated to this subject in the 21st century.
