Supernova Search Charts and Handbook [Box set]

Editorial Reviews
Review
'... these charts and the handbook will eventually increase the detection rate of supernova.' New Scientist
'... a much needed addition to the library of the active observer who wishes to hunt for these most important objects.' Observatory
'... a mine of useful information and contains many hints on observing supernovae, as well as appendices on current supernova research.' Contemporary Physics

Book Description
This unique atlas contains 236 charts of more than 300 of the brightest galaxies, each specifically prepared to facilitate the discovery of supernovae. The comparison of these charts with the field seen in a telescope enables any extra-galactic supernova to be spotted immediately. The proto-type set of these charts has already resulted in the discovery of several new supernovae. The charts include 345 galaxies printed on translucent paper for use on a lightbox, each one carrying an explanation of the constellation in which the galaxy lies, special characteristics of the galaxy, observing instructions, expected maximum brightness for the supernovae in each galaxy, and the reference for the sequence. A handbook, which accompanies the charts, describes how to make and record supernova discoveries, and reviews the present understanding of supernovae.
