William Herschel Discoverer of the Deep Sky
The book describes the observational work of William and Caroline Herschel. Most were discovered by William in the monumental sweep campaign (1783-1802), assisted by his talented sister. It focuses on deep-sky objects, observed 1774-1817.
The study of the sky from southern England also concerned double stars and the Solar System, yielding the Uranus discovery in 1781. 2500 objects were published in three catalogues. But William Herschel was much more than a mere observer.
He built large reflectors, developed new methods and thought about the nature and evolution of cosmic objects and the structure of the Milky Way. He was an extremely influential astronomer and had a worthy successor, his son John.
