The Year Round Messier Marathon5

This is a fantastic book for anyone interested in tracking down all the Messier Objects. The charts and diagrams are very clear and there are some detailed and very informative notes. The Telrad finder charts really do make it very simple, provided you are observing from a reasonably dark site.
If you want to try to see all the Messier objcts in one night this book is essential. If like me you are happy to spread things out over many years of observing then this book will give enjoyment time and time again.

Probably worth taking copies of the pages you are interested in on a particular night as the paper pages can get damp in the field.
