EDITORIAL INFORMATION

Although written primarily for amateur astronomers, this new dictionary provides an invaluable reference source for terms, techniques, instruments, formulas and processes for practising observers, both amateur and professional. Extended definitions give sufficient information for many of the techniques and items of instrumentation to be used as well as understood. Illustration and diagrams are provided where necessary. Extensive appendices give additional information, including complete listings of the Messier and Caldwell objects.
