Faint Objects and How to Observe Them is for visual observers who are equipped with a 10-inch or larger astronomical telescope and who want to "go deep" with their observing. It provides a guide to some of the most distant,dim,and rarely observed objects in the sky,supported by background information on surveys and objects lists - some familiar,such as Caldwell,and some not so familiar. This book not only provides a wealth of experience compiled from several sources,but it also gives an historical background to surveys whose names may or may not be familiar to most amateur astronomers. Finally,it includes a listing of the many galaxy clusters out there,from "nearby" ones such as Stefan's Quintet to some of the most distant groups observable through the largest telescopes.
