Annals of the DEEP SKY, Volume 5

Volume 5 explores three very rich, and very different, constellations. Centaurus features a detailed overview of the Alpha Centauri system, descriptions of the Scorpius-Centaurus Association (the nearest OB affliliation to the Sun), and the stunning Omega Centauri globular cluster (NGC 5139). Some time is spent probing the many levels of the mysterious Centaurus A galaxy (NGC 5128), with its bizarre mixture of spiral and elliptical morphologies.
