| Title | Visual astronomy under dark skies: A New Approach to Observing Deep Space |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2005. |
| Description | x, 180p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky â star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies â within visual reach of amateur astronomers.
It isnât necessary to image deep-sky objects in order to see them; you look at them in real-time by using modern observing techniques and enhancement technology.
The first requirement is a truly dark observing site. Given a location with clear, dark night skies everything else follows⦠this book contains all you need to know about what to observe, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects, and how to use the best of todayâs commercial equipment for visual observing. |

| Title | Visual astronomy in the suburbs: A Guide to Spectacular Viewing |
| Author(s) | Antony Cooke |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2003. |
| Description | xii, 265p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Most amateur astronomers, because they live in or near cities, have to carry out their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. It is possible to reduce the effects of a poor location by the use of CCD imaging, but many observers prefer to look at astronomical objects rather than photograph them. Skill, observing techniques, and modern technology - such as image intensifiers - can now be used to astonishing effect to observe the night sky in real-time. Illustrating the book with images and some of his own superb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most spectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites. |

| Title | Choosing and using a Dobsonian telescope |
| Author(s) | Neil English |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2011. |
| Description | xiii, 232p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | n the 1980âs, on the sidewalks of San Francisco, amateur astronomer John Dobson began showing throngs of people how to build and use large aperture scopes, often from scraps. The Dobsonian,âDobs,â are now the best-selling large telescopes in the world. There are a great variety of different Dob styles, ranging from elaborate and decorative creations to simple mass market designs, and new models appear all the time. In this title, Neil English presents the ultimate guide to buying and using a commercial Dobsonian for recreational astronomy. He provides in-depth accounts of the various models (plus accessories) on the market â both economy and premium â together with describing the wealth of innovations that amateurs have made to their Dobs to optimize their performance in the field. |

| Title | Observing variable stars |
| Author(s) | Gerry A. Good |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2003. |
| Description | viii, 284 p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Observing variable stars is one of the major contributions amateur astronomers make to science. There are 36,000 variable stars listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, so it is clearly impossible for the limited number of professional observatories to target even the majority of them. That's where amateur astronomers come in - thousands of them turning their telescopes to the sky every night. Variable star observing is the most popular of "real science" activities for amateurs, and Gerry Good's book provides everything needed. The first part of the book provides a highly detailed account of the various classes of variable star, with examples, illustrations and physical descriptions. The second section covers practical aspects of observing, everything from preparation and planning, through observing techniques, to data management and reduction. |

| Title | Field guide to deep-sky objects |
| Author(s) | Michael Inglis |
| Edition | 2nd |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2012. |
| Description | xvii, 253p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | In this companion guide to stars, star systems, galaxies, and other deep sky sights you can choose a class of object and set up an annual program for yourself that will take you from month to month, helping you locate famous targets or, if you prefer, hunting down the lesser known but still dazzling sky sights. Detailed descriptive summaries of each class of object are followed by extensive lists of deep-sky targets, presented in a monthly format and going from those objects easy to locate to those that are more of a challenge. Amateur astronomers of all levels will find this book invaluable for its broad-ranging background material, for its comprehensive lists of fascinating objects, and for its power to improve your observing skills. |

| Title | Astrophysics is easy!: An Introduction for the Amateur Astronomer |
| Author(s) | Michael Inglis |
| Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2007. |
| Description | xvii, 204p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Astrophysics is Easy! begins by looking at the H-R diagram and other basic tools of astrophysics, then ranges across the universe, from a first look at the interstellar medium and nebulae, through the birth, evolution and death of stars, to the physics of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
A unique feature of this book is the way that Dr. Inglis lists example objects for practical observation at every stage, so that practical astronomers can go and look at the object or objects under discussion â using only easily-available commercial amateur equipment. |
