Best astronomy book I own

There is no doubt that this is the best astronomy book that I have ever owned. I have been collecting astronomy books since 1966 when I was a little boy. They do keep getting better as current technology advances. The photographs in this book are the best I have ever seen. There is also a lot of text, but not too much that it would be too much for the average astronomy person. All of the constellations are described here along with the nebulas, the planets and galaxies. You will love it as I do if you like astronomy.

Best book I've seen of Hubble Pics

This book is better than the one titled Hubble Space Scope Pics. It's simpl of of the best text book pictorials I've seen. It does give information on the object where it was taken...not all Hubble shots.
