The Barnard Album: A Colorful Look at Dark Nebulae
暫譯: 巴納德專輯：暗星雲的多彩視角

巴納德天體吸引了專業和業餘天文學家超過100年。巴納德的影像是使用黑白攝影底片獲得的。天文攝影底片已被搭載CCD和CMOS晶片的數位影像所取代。本書直接將巴納德在《銀河系選定區域的攝影圖集》中的影像與相同區域的現代彩色影像進行比較，且比例相同。

本書是《巴納德天體 - 昨日與今日》的補充。

Tim Hunter obtained a BA from DePauw University in 1966, an MD from Northwestern University in 1968, a BS from the University of Arizona in 1980, and an MSc degree from Swinburne University (Melbourne) in 2006. Currently, Dr. Hunter is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Medical Imaging in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona and was Head of the department 2008-2011. He was on the Arizona Medical Board (AMB) 1997-2006.

Dr. Hunter has been an amateur astronomer since 1950, and he is the owner of two observatories, the 3towers Observatory and the Grasslands Observatory (http: //www.3towers.com). He is also a prime example of someone whose hobby has run amok, spending more time and money on it than common sense would dictate. He has been the President of the Tucson

Amateur Astronomy Association, Inc. (TAAA) and a member of the TAAA since 1975. He is the immediate past Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI). Since 1986, Dr. Hunter has been interested in the growing problem of light pollution. In 1987, he and Dr. David Crawford founded the International Dark-Sky Association, Inc. (IDA) [now known as DarkSky International (DSI)]. DSI is a nonprofit corporation devoted to promoting quality outdoor lighting and combatting the effects of light pollution.

Since 2007, Dr. Hunter has written a weekly "Sky Spy" column for the Caliente Section of the Arizona Daily Star. In 2023 he published The Sky at Night - easy enjoyment from your backyard (University of Arizona Press). He is the first author of The Barnard Objects - Then and Now (Springer, 2023).

James McGaha obtained a BS in management and a minor in physics from Georgia Tech University, an MA in management and psychology from Webster University, and a MS in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Arizona. He is currently a retired Air Force pilot and is a skeptic lecturer. He is the Director of the Grasslands Observatory (www.3towers.com) and specializes in asteroid and comet astrometry and photometery. He has made over 2900 MPEC publications and discovered 63 comets. He is a contributing author for Skeptical Inquirer magazine. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (RASC) and is a coauthor of The Barnard Objects - Then and Now (Springer, 2023).

Gerald Orin Dobek obtained two BS degrees in Mathematics; Trinity College and Ferris State University, a MSc Honours in Astronomy from the University of Western Sydney and a DSc in Astronmy/Astrophysics from James Cook University. Jerry is currently the Department Head of Astronomy at Northwestern Michigan College where he teaches Astronmy. As a professional astronomer, he researches small amplitude variable stars using his private observatory at his home in Traverse City, Michigan. Jerry also continues to research dark nebulous material in the Milky Way. In 2011, he republished Edward Emerson Barnard's A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of the Milky Way adding update information and a mosaic of the fifty plates contained within the Atlas.

Jerry holds membership in numerous astronomy and science organisations: IAU, RAS, AAS, AAAS, AAVSO, ASP and is a founding member of the IDA. Along with being an advid observational astronomer, Jerry also enjoys writiing and playing music on his twelve and six string guitars. He is a coauthor of The Barnard Objects - Then and Now (Springer, 2023).

Tim Hunter 於1966年獲得德保大學（DePauw University）文學士學位，1968年獲得西北大學（Northwestern University）醫學博士學位，1980年獲得亞利桑那大學（University of Arizona）理學士學位，並於2006年獲得斯威本科技大學（Swinburne University，墨爾本）碩士學位。目前，Hunter博士是亞利桑那大學醫學院醫學影像系的名譽教授，並於2008年至2011年擔任該系主任。他曾於1997年至2006年擔任亞利桑那醫療委員會（Arizona Medical Board，AMB）成員。

Hunter博士自1950年以來一直是業餘天文學家，並擁有兩個天文台，分別是3towers Observatory和Grasslands Observatory（http://www.3towers.com）。他也是一個典型的例子，因為他的興趣超出了常理，花費了比常識所能接受的更多的時間和金錢。他自1975年以來一直是圖森業餘天文學會（Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association, Inc.，TAAA）的會長，並且是該會的成員。他是行星科學研究所（Planetary Science Institute，PSI）董事會的前任主席。自1986年以來，Hunter博士對日益嚴重的光污染問題產生了興趣。1987年，他與David Crawford博士共同創立了國際黑暗天空協會（International Dark-Sky Association, Inc.，IDA）（現在稱為DarkSky International，DSI）。DSI是一個非營利機構，致力於促進高品質的戶外照明並對抗光污染的影響。

自2007年以來，Hunter博士每週為《亞利桑那每日星報》（Arizona Daily Star）的Caliente專欄撰寫“Sky Spy”專欄。2023年，他出版了The Sky at Night - easy enjoyment from your backyard（亞利桑那大學出版社）。他是The Barnard Objects - Then and Now（Springer，2023）的第一作者。

James McGaha 於喬治亞理工學院（Georgia Tech University）獲得管理學學士學位及物理學輔修，於韋伯斯特大學（Webster University）獲得管理學和心理學碩士學位，並於亞利桑那大學獲得天文學和天體物理學碩士學位。他目前是一名退休的空軍飛行員，並擔任懷疑論講師。他是Grasslands Observatory（www.3towers.com）的主任，專注於小行星和彗星的天文測量和光度測量。他已發表超過2900篇MPEC，並發現了63顆彗星。他是Skeptical Inquirer雜誌的貢獻作者。他是英國皇家天文學會（Royal Astronomical Society，RASC）的會員，並是The Barnard Objects - Then and Now（Springer，2023）的共同作者。

Gerald Orin Dobek 於三一學院（Trinity College）和費里斯州立大學（Ferris State University）獲得兩個數學學士學位，於西悉尼大學（University of Western Sydney）獲得天文學榮譽碩士學位，並於詹姆斯庫克大學（James Cook University）獲得天文學/天體物理學博士學位。Jerry目前是北密西根學院（Northwestern Michigan College）天文學系的系主任，教授天文學。作為一名專業天文學家，他利用位於密西根州特拉弗斯城的私人天文台研究小振幅變星。Jerry還持續研究銀河系中的暗雲物質。2011年，他重新出版了愛德華·愛默生·巴納德（Edward Emerson Barnard）的A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of the Milky Way，並添加了更新的信息和包含在該圖集中的五十幅圖版的馬賽克。

Jerry是多個天文學和科學組織的成員：IAU、RAS、AAS、AAAS、AAVSO、ASP，並且是IDA的創始成員。除了熱衷於觀測天文學外，Jerry還喜歡在他的十二弦和六弦吉他上寫作和演奏音樂。他是The Barnard Objects - Then and Now（Springer，2023）的共同作者。
