The Hickson Group
Observer's Guide is the first
in the “At The Eyepiece" series authored by Alvin Huey. The guides are written for
intermediate and advanced observers who like a challenge. The “meat” of
this publication features a two page spread containing everything an
observer needs to locate, detect and observe each Group. The guide includes
a naked eye chart with a TelRadTM superimposed upon it, a
wide-field finder chart (about 2 x 1.5 degrees), a labeled inverted DSS image, an
eyepiece rendition and detailed observer’s notes.
