For most amateur astronomers, observing the 110 objects on the messier list is a rite of passage. While astronomy books flourish, lately we ve seen something of a dearth of books about the Messiers. Enter Steven J. O Meara. O Meara is, without a doubt, one of the premier visual observers in astronomy today. This gentleman s inventory of accomplishments seems like a list from the astronomers mission impossible.
Messier and his contemporaries, along with a discussion of the oddballs and mistakes in the catalog is covered in chapter 1, contributed by guest author – David Levy – another amateur heavyweight.
