| Title | Transit When Planets Cross the Sun : When Planets Cross the Sun |
| Author(s) | Maunder, Michael;Moore, Patrick |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2000. |
| Description | VIII, 164 p. 104 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Although transits of planets across the Sun are rare (only Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun closer than us, and so can transit the Sun's disc) amateur astronomers can observe, record and image other kinds of transit, which are very much more frequent. Transit is in two parts, the first telling the fascinating story of the early scientific expeditions to observe transits. The second part is for practical observers, and explains how to observe transits of all sorts - even transits of aircraft as they fly between the observer and the Sun! |

| Title | Astronomy with a Budget Telescope |
| Author(s) | Moore, Patrick;Watson, John |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2003. |
| Description | VIII, 136 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Sir Patrick Moore, CBE, FRS has long been the scourge of those people selling low-cost astronomical telescopes via mail-order catalogues and non-specialist stores. Ten years ago the quality was appalling and disappointment would have been almost guaranteed - but times have changed, and having surveyed some the best and worst of today's inexpensive mail-order catalogue and main-street astronomical telescopes Patrick has admitted to being astonished by how good some of them are. Today, the best are now excellent value and useful instruments. Part One of Astronomy With a Mail-order Telescope provides reports on some available models along with detailed and essential hints and tips about what to look for when buying. Part Two describes how best to use the telescope, which celestial objects to observe (with full-page star charts to help find them), what you can expect to see, and how to take and even computer-enhance astronomical photographs |

| Title | Patrick Moore???s Millennium Yearbook : The View from AD 1001 |
| Author(s) | Moore, Patrick;Chapman, Allan |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2000. |
| Description | XII, 100 p. 37 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In a year that will probably be remembered almost as much for books about the millennium as for the turn of 2000 A.D itself, Patrick Moore's Millennium Yearbook celebrates.....well, the wrong millennium! This thoroughly entertaining book - which is for everyone, not just astronomers - contains articles on King Alfred's chronological work, reviews of the new Star Catalogue by the Arab Al-Sufi and the latest edition of Ptolemy's Almagast. And foreshadowing the change to metric units by 1000 years, the book uses arabic numbers instead of Roman - but there is a conversion table if you have trouble with the idea of "zero" and prefer the older system |

| Abstract Note | Ci sono 365 notti in un anno (366 se bisestile) e per l???astrofilo non ce ne sono mai due uguali. Il cielo ogni notte propone un suo show che ha per protagonisti migliaia di oggetti come stelle, costellazioni, pianeti, nebulose, da riconoscere uno ad uno, da ammirare e studiare.

Vengono proposte mappe stellari di facile interpretazione, mentre il testo tratta di fisica, delle stelle e della loro storia, di sistemi binari, galassie, della Luna e dei pianeti: di tutto ci?? che la volta celeste offre all???astrofilo curioso. Cosa hanno detto della prima edizione NEW SCIENTIST "???ben scritto e pieno di entusiasmo." ASTRONOMY & SPACE "Patrick Moore si ?? ripetuto. Che libro eccellente ?? questo." |

| Title | Moore on Mercury : The Planet and the Missions |
| Author(s) | Moore, Patrick |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2007. |
| Description | VII, 139 p. 5 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Mercury is one of the more difficult objects for amateur astronomers to observe because of its close proximity to the Sun. For the same reason, it is also one of the most fascinating and strange planets. Mercury is not much larger that our Moon, but orbits the Sun at an average distance of only 58 million km, compared to the Earth???s 150 million km. On its sunlit side, Mercury???s surface temperature can exceed 450C while the night side freezes at ???180C. Amateur astronomers can see Mercury and its ever-changing phases all year, and sometimes watch it transit the Sun ??? the next transit is in November 2006, followed by one in May 2016. In his inimitable, easy-going style, Patrick Moore describes Mercury, the professional astronomers who have observed it over the centuries, amateur observations, and the past, present and future space missions to this extraordinary world |

| Description | VIII, 165 p. 111 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | If you had purchased an inexpensive astronomical telescope a few years ago, disappointment would have been almost guaranteed. In current Internet age, times have changed and most (but not quite all) telescopes have been used to favorable results.

This new edition of Astronomy with a Budget Telescope is the result of their efforts. This book will show you how to recognize the good from the bad in observational ware with essential hints and tips on what to look for when buying both new and used telescopes. Updated and expanded, this latest edition includes budgeting tips for the new generation of digital cameras and 'go-to' telescopes. It provides a step-by-step guide to setting up your telescope, and how to observe the Moon, Sun, planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Inside you'll find full-page finder charts and full-color images showing you what each object should look like. Astronomy with a Budget Telescope, 2nd Edition, is the complete introduction to buying and using a low-cost amateur astronomical telescope! |
