Review: Uranography: A Brief Description of the Constellations Visible in the United States, with Star-Maps, and Lists of Objects Observable with a Small Telescope

Uranography: A Brief Description of the Constellations Visible in the United States, with Star-Maps, and Lists of Objects Observable with a Small Telescope by Charles Augustus Young

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is much more technical than I think coud excite the typical amateur today which somehow seems to us having lost some incisive yearning along with the light pollution of the decades...
