STRUCTURES IN SPACE Hidden Secrets of the Deep Sky Through the medium of Michael Stecker's strikingly beautiful photographs and electronic images, Structures in Space explores the organisation of the universe from the solar system to distant galaxies. The accompanying CD-ROM contains over 100 dramatic astronomical images to supplement those in the book. You can view them on your personal computer, or print them out on a photo-quality colour printer to create your personal collection of prints. Bernard Abrams and Michael Stecker are amateur astronomers, based in the UK and USA respectively. Bernard has experience as a professional astronomy educator and author; Michael's astronomical images have been widely published, in the USA, Europe, and Japan. The CD-ROM requires a computer with a CD-ROM drive and software that is able to display .JPEG images. Internet browsers such as MS Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator can be used, but graphics packages like Windows-98 Imager, Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Photoshop will give better results. In general the better your computer's resolution and colour, the better the images will look!
