Viewing the Constellations with Binoculars is a complete guide to practical astronomy, written for beginners, intermediate-level astronomers, and even people who have not yet turned their gaze to the night sky. The required observing equipment to get the full value from this book is no more than a pair of PixInsight has taken the astro-imaging world by storm. As the first comprehensive postprocessing platform to be created by astro-imagers for astro-imagers, it has for many replaced other generic graphics editors as the software of choice.

Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series Deep-Sky Video Astronomy is a concise guide to using modern video cameras for deep-sky viewing and imaging with the kinds of modest telescopes available commercially to amateur astronomers. It is not a beginner's book, but it does include an introduction and brief history of the technology, camera types, Many lights and other objects in the sky go unrecognised, or at least are little understood by those observing them. Such things range from the commonplace like rainbows and meteors, to the distinctly unusual like the green flash and ball lightning.
And there is still a residuum of objects that remain unidentified by the watcher — classed generally This book demystifies the jargon of webcams and computer processing, and provides detailed hints and tips for imaging the Sun, Moon and planets with a webcam. It demonstrates how inexpensive tools are revolutionizing imaging in amateur astronomy.
Anyone with a modest telescope and a webcam can now obtain jaw-dropping lunar and planetary images to Most amateur astronomers yearn to observe more frequently. Many of them, however, live in urban and highly developed suburban areas that are heavily light polluted. Due to this light pollution, they are under the impression that deep sky objects—nebulae, galaxies, star clusters—are either invisible or not worth viewing from home.
Computer-controlled "go-to" telescopes are inexpensive. CCD and webcam imaging make intensive use of the technology for capturing and processing images Practical Astronomy Astronomy is still one of the very few sciences in which the amateur can play a valuable role.
Indeed, amateur work is warmly welcomed by professional astronomers. During the past few decades the whole situation has changed; whereas the average amateur used to own a modest telescope and concentrate only upon various In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. There are days in each year in a Leap Year!
What I aim to do, in this book, is to go through a complete Not only do these changes include commercially available astronomical telescopes and software, but also what we know and understand about the universe. There are many new photographs Amateur astronomers are always contemplating the "next telescope up" and this It documents the past market and its evolution, right up to the present day.

In addition to appealing to practical astronomers - and potentially saving them money - it This book is based around the author's beautiful and sometimes awe-inspiring color images and mosaics of deep-sky objects. The book describes how similar "Hubble class" images can be created by amateur astronomers in their back garden. Contents How did I The images were used as the basis of a public exhibition held at the University of Southampton Summer , attended by the press, local radio and TV interviewers as well as the public. The book describes how similar This book fills a gap left by earlier works of general practical advice, most of which are either out of date or long out of print.
Although the volume distills years of practical experience working with astronomical equipment and accessories, it It also provides a comprehensive guide to using Autostar TM , the computerized "Goto" handset.

This book is much more than an observing guide, it's a way of learning your way round the night sky. It is written in an easy-going style ideal for 'dipping in' on the With the right tools, time, and location, some of the often talked about but seldom seen and heard gems in our skies can finally be observed.
This book introduces readers to the rare and ephemeral happenings The book will, in jargon-free blow-by-blow terms, describe how to create the best astronomical images you can with the digital camera equipment at your disposal. It will explain the steps we go through to extract results from the raw-and-dirty original imagery, and then transform them into high quality pictures that you could hang on your wall Each entry contains position and The photographs show how the objects appear through a mm Maksutov and other instruments, The Sun provides amateur astronomers with one of the few opportunities for daytime astronomy.
In order to see the major features of our nearest star, special telescopes that have a very narrow visible bandwidth are essential.

This tourist guide has a twist — it is a guide to a whole different world, which you can visit from the comfort of your backyard with the aid of nothing more sophisticated than an inexpensive telescope. It tells you the best times to view the Moon, the most exciting sights to look out for, and the best equipment to use, allowing you to snap stunning photographs as well as view the sights with your own eyes. Have you ever been inspired by stunning images from the Hubble telescope, or the magic of sci-fi special effects, only to look through a small backyard telescope at the disappointing white dot of a planet or faint blur of a galaxy?
Yet the Moon is different. Seen through even a relatively cheap 'scope, it springs into life like a real place, with mountains and valleys and rugged craters. With a bit of imagina. Read more Read less.
Providing impressive images of astronomical items of the southern sky, all taken by means of writer Stephen Chadwick, this ebook explores what peoples of the South Pacific see after they search for on the heavens and what they've got performed with this information. Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes looks out into the deep sky at those apparent dark regions in space, which are among the most compelling telescopic destinations for amateur Since the advent of astronomical CCD imaging it has been possible for amateurs to produce images of a quality that was attainable only by universities and professional observatories just a decade ago. There are two basic methods of recording astronomical images seen through the eyepiece of a telescope. PixInsight has taken the astro-imaging world by storm. Here's how restrictions apply.

Abel's excellent book emphasizes the importance of still pursuing systematic visual observations of the moon and planets with small to moderate size telescopes.
Although digital imaging has become important and rather commonplace for recording observations of our solar system, there is no doubt whatsoever that carefully-planned and well-organized visual obervations, visual photometry with color filters of known transmission, and carefully-executed drawings at the eyepiece by skilled observers remain equally valuable. Abel discusses in his book. Visual observations, especially those carried out as simultaneous observations i.
