Îïèñàíèå: Designed to be used in the field under the red-colored lighting used by astronomers, this book includes recommended observing targets for beginners and intermediate observers alike. It contains start charts and specific information about the celestial objects. It contains the requirements for list of objects compiled by The Astronomical League.

Îïèñàíèå: Despite the fact that there are a variety of drawing media and techniques, there exists no comprehensive treatment of the subject of astronomical sketching. This book contains information regarding equipment, types of telescope and eyepiece combinations, techniques for preserving and archiving sketches, and suggestions for accurate record keeping.
Îïèñàíèå: From phenomena as old and far-off as a supernova witnessed a thousand years ago, and as recent and nearby as Sputnik`s famous beeping, this book covers everything that one must know to see, hear, and appreciate the astronomical events happening around us.
Îïèñàíèå: Finally, Kidger looks to the future by examining two urgent questions - the possibility that an asteroid might devastate life on Earth and the impact of climate change as witnessed on other planets - before coming full circle to look at our own origins, answering the question "Are we stardust?" The answer is as astonishing as it is unexpected.
Îïèñàíèå: 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 as ‘UFOs’, a description which today has connotations of the mysterious, even of extraterrestrial visitors.The first part of this book is an identification guide, very much like the "plant identifier" sections found in a good gardening or botany book. It allows quick (and structured) identification of known aerial phenomena, whether at night or during the day. The objects thus found are referenced to the second part of the book.The second part gives a full description, physical explanation, and where relevant notes on observing and photographing the various phenomena. Some will need optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes, but the main thrust of the book is identification and explanation rather than imaging.The final chapter approaches UFOs from a scientific standpoint, particularly the way in which human perception and often preconception affects the outcome. It does however finish with a short section on "extraterrestrial UFOs", emphasising the burden of proof aspect and touching on the scientific theories of life on other worlds and the improbability of visitors.

Îïèñàíèå: Almost every serious amateur astronomer knows the benefit of having a fixed observatory of some sort - it saves a vast amount of time and effort during every observing session - and this book provides the necessary help. More Small Astronomical Observatories details the methods and techniques employed by non-professional astronomers from all over the world, providing a wonderful resource for anyone wishing to build a small observatory of almost any kind. It's a fun read, too. Not only that, but a free PC-format CD-ROM is included, containing the entire first book (now out of print) - you get two books for the price of one!
