Discovering Double Stars helps you to find and learn about 300 of the best double stars visible to Northern Hemisphere observers. This book is specifically for those living in the glare of urban sprawls, where all but the brightest stars are lost to light pollution. Overview charts tailored to light polluted skies show the general position of the doubles, while generously proportioned detail charts show the precise star patterns around the doubles themselves, enabling an observer to locate the stars through a finder scope. Cross-references to the SAO, HIP and Gaia DR2 catalogs are provided for the doubles.
