Title StatementA catalogue of astronomical objects as reference for campus astronomy by Jesus Rodrigo F. Torres
Physical Descriptionvi, 149p. figures
Summary, Etc.Eight years after introduction of the Astronomy programs of the Rizal Technological University (MS in Astronomy, Graduate Diploma in Astronomy, and BS in Astronomy Technology), I have felt a real need for an observing catalogue which students can use, especially if they are observing in the school campus. An observing catalogue that would contain the most interesting objects in the night sky and which would be within the capability of binoculars or small telescopes now available in dealers shops in malls has been imperative in the last few years. These binoculars and telescopes are now within the reach of the budgets of students, as they are even cheaper than cell phones. The observing catalogue should useful under the stars; it should contain usable maps that give enough detail to be useful in locating objects. The majority of the objects in the guide should be observable even in severely light-polluted campuses. It should contain enough useful information to satisfy the intellectual needs of the astronomer; such information should create a hunger for more information which the astronomer will search for himself or herself later. The observing catalogue should contain objects a fairly new astronomer with a working knowledge of the most important constellaltions which he or she can identify easily. The constellations themselves should be the more prominent ones. Almost all of them should have easily identifiable patterns. The observing catalogue should have pictures of most of the included objects, with a fair representation of the objects which can be studied, such as galaxies, open clusters, globular clusters, nebulae, single, double and multiple stars, and even supernova remnants. The pictures shall be those which would give a better understanding of the object, or which should more or less be similar to what the astronomer would see in the eyepiece. With these things in mind, this observing catalogue for campus astronomy is hereby presented.04
