| Title | Lights in the sky: Identifying and Understanding Astronomical and Meteorological Phenomena |
| Author(s) | Michael Maunder |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2007. |
| Description | xv,226p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Lights in the Sky is a truly comprehensive guide to observing, identifying, and imaging sky glows and other unusual atmospheric/astronomical phenomena, in both the night and daytime skies.
If, as a practical observer, you want to be able to identify what it is when you are faced, for example, with the Specter of the Brocken - or with an unidentified flying object that is...well, unidentified...then Lights in the Sky will provide all the practical scientific information you need. |

| Title | Urban astronomer's guide: A Walking Tour of the Cosmos for City Sky Watchers |
| Author(s) | Rod Mollise |
| Publication | London, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2006. |
| Description | vii, 257p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | any amateur astronomers live in urban and highly developed suburban areas, and many of them believe that they canât observe deep-sky objects from such light-polluted locations. But it isnât true. Given the right techniques, urban astronomers can routinely observe deep-sky objects night after night â something most of us would never do if it involved driving miles into the country to find a dark site. Rod Mollise has observed the entire Messier list from his urban backyard, without high-tech equipment, using only commercially-made telescopes and simple accessories. This is a guide to good deep-sky astronomy under bad skies.
There are literally hundreds of spectacular objects to be seen from the average urban site. After dealing with equipment, locations and even urban safety, Rod invites you to join him on his virtual "walking tours" of the night sky, with physical and observational descriptions, at-the-eyepiece drawings, and photographs. |

| Publication | New York, Springer, 2007. |
| Description | xxx, 669p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | The The Night Sky Companion is far more than just an observing guide. It is a yearâs journey into the science and facts of astronomy and space travel, along with some of its history and the and the men and women who made it. If youâre a sky watcher equipped with any kind of astronomical telescope, binoculars, or even just your eyes, you are sure to find this book absolutely fascinating.
Taking a day-by-day look at the sky over the course of the whole year, Tammy Plotner has assembled a digest to appeal to all astronomers and would-be astronomers. Turn these pages and youâll find observing recommendations â including how to locate the object youâre looking for â along with a wealth of information touching on every aspect of your observation.
It doesnât matter whether itâs a meteor shower, nebula, double star, variable star, lunar crater, or even the Sun: if itâs an interesting feature of the 2008 â 2009 observing year, you'll find it here! |

| Title | Starlight: An Introduction to Stellar Physics for Amateurs |
| Author(s) | Keith Robinson |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2009. |
| Description | ix, 277p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | When you look up at the sky at night and see the stars, do you understand what youâre looking at? What is starlight made up of, and how does it travel to us? How are stars born, and how do they die? How do we figure out how far away are the stars and how massive they are? Can we know which stars will go supernova and which will end up as white dwarfs or black holes? How long will our Sun continue to shine down on us, and how do we know its age?
There are so many questions, and in this engaging and informative book by Keith Robinson, which serves as a companion to his very popular earlier book called Spectroscopy â the Key to the Stars, you will learn the basics of stellar physics and the answers to many of these questions, as well as how to figure out some of those answers for yourself. |

| Title | My heavens!: Adventures of a Lonely Stargazer Building an Over-the-Top Observatory |
| Author(s) | Gordon Rogers |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2008. |
| Description | xv, 180p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Perhaps you are already a stargazer using a small telescope you bring out to your back yard on clear nights. Perhaps you have a larger telescope that is mounted outside and protected from inclement weather. Perhaps you just dream of someday owning a fancy telescope set-up and turning it skyward to view the neighboring planets and moons of the Solar System or the stars that wink at you from millions of miles away.
Whether you might want to undertake building an over-the-top dome observatory yourself or not, you are sure to enjoy this informative tale by Gordon Rogers, told with humor and humility, of his torturous but ultimately rewarding experience with building for himself, attached to his own home, a fancy and sophisticated dome observatory, just for the pleasure of sky watching on beautiful nights (of which there are far too few in England!). |
