More DescriptionThis atlas provides a complete set of images of local group galaxies (excluding the three for which identification atlases are already in print) and shows the most important objects, including many thousands of individual stars and interstellar objects. Readers will be able to use the atlas to identify and study the various components of the nearly 30 important galaxies it contains. The objects identified on the more than 200 charts include variable stars, globular star clusters, open star clusters, stellar associations, emission regions, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae and dust clouds. Each galaxy is accompanied by an extensive bibliography.
