The Night Sky Observer's Guide

The exhaustive, season-by-season field reference for serious deep-sky observers — thousands of objects with eyepiece descriptions and sketches across a range of apertures, the bench reference experienced observers return to night after night. It is a four-volume set, sold one volume at a time: Vol 1 Autumn & Winter and Vol 2 Spring & Summer cover the northern sky between them, Vol 3 The Southern Skies reaches below the celestial equator, and Vol 4 The Glories of the Milky Way goes deep along the galactic plane to −54°. Most northern-hemisphere observers start with Volume 1, which is what the buy link points to.
