About this product

Product Information

The Cambridge Double Star Atlas is back! It is the first and only atlas of physical double stars that can be viewed with amateur astronomical instruments. Completely rewritten, this new edition explains the latest research into double stars, and looks at the equipment, techniques and opportunities that will enable you to discover, observe and measure them. The target list has been completely revised and extended to 2500 binary or multiple systems. Each system is described with the most recent and accurate data from the authoritative Washington Double Star Catalog, including the HD and SAO numbers that are most useful in our digital age. Hundreds of remarks explain the attributes of local, rapidly changing, often measured or known orbital systems. The color atlas charts by Wil Tirion have been updated to help you easily find and identify the target systems, as well as other deep-sky objects. This is an essential reference for double star observers.

  • Excellent reference guide to Double Stars

    Quality publication with familiar sky map layout, supported by detailed information specific to double stars observing. A must have atlas. I was lucky to get an almost perfect example from a quality Ebay’er.

  • cambridge double star atlas

    if you enjoy the odd double star view this atlas is a very good recourse to have. It has labels from catalogues of a lot of old time observers such as Struve the Herschels and many others which can be cross referenced in other atlases and books . T he maps are good and show a lot of other deep sky objects as well so its a good handy atlas to own.A lot of theory and observing hint relating to double star observing rounds out a very fine book. highly recommended to buy.
