| Title | The Barnard Objects: Then and Now |
| Author(s) | Hunter, Tim B;Dobek, Gerald O;McGaha, James E |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XL, 343 p. 108 illus., 91 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Barnard Objects have fascinated professional and amateur astronomers for over one hundred years. Many of those objects first imaged by E.E. Barnard on black-and-white photographic plates are now being captured daily in thousands of color astrophotographs. This book tells of Barnard???s story; describing his life and work as well as how the fields of astronomy and astrophotography have transformed ever since. The chapters in this book are equal parts history and science. It will provide readers with an introduction to nebula science and the incredible discoveries made in this field over the decades; including an overview of popular astronomical catalogues and a detailed look at how astronomical imaging has advanced since Barnard???s time, from early plates to digital imaging and chips. In addition, the book features a comprehensive guide to viewing and imaging these objects yourself. A glossary of astronomical and photographic terms is provided, along with detailed references.And, an updated table displaying the locations of these Barnard Objects; including the missing twenty-five objects from E.E. Barnard???s original catalogue. Richly researched and illustrated, this fascinating reference will attract astronomers of all skill levels interested in astrophotography and how it has changed over the past hundred years |

| Title | A Practical Guide to Lightcurve Photometry and Analysis |
| Author(s) | Warner, Brian D |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XXII, 410 p. 202 illus., 52 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | For those with access to even a modest telescope and CCD camera, this new and improved guide delivers all the information needed to take part in the scientific study of asteroids and variable stars. New techniques in photometry continue to be refined, and expert Brian Warner covers the developing territory in detail for those both new and experienced. Updated to reflect changes in telescope and CCD technology, it also includes an expanded chapter on the analysis of asteroid lightcurves to cover some of the common pitfalls that lead to incorrect answers as well as how to discover an asteroid satellite via lightcurves. With this information, amateur astronomers can use commercially available equipment to determine the rotation rate, size, and shape of asteroids. Similarly, it is possible to discover the size, temperature, and orbits of stars in binary systems by using this powerful technique. Brian Warner yet again delivers all the material needed for readers to understand the theory, and avoid the practical pitfalls of lightcurve photometry. Detailed examples are given for obtaining data, and of course for the exciting and rewarding task of analyzing the data to determine the physical properties of the objects. It also includes many detailed finder charts with magnitudes for reference and detailed steps on how to go about gathering data for specific projects without misinterpretation. Any college student or amateur astronomer who wants to go beyond mere imaging with a CCD camera and enter the challenging world of "real science" via the lightcurves of asteroids and binary stars will find everything necessary in this updated book. |

| Title | Using Sequence Generator Pro and Friends : Imaging with SGP, PHD2, and Related Software |
| Author(s) | McConahay, Alex |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVII, 417 p. 155 illus., 153 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This guide is specifically aimed at those who are using???or want to use???Sequence Generator Pro. SGP is a ???session management??? software package that controls the telescope, mount, camera, and ancillary equipment to target and secure images during a night of imaging astronomical objects. The book begins with a special tutorial to get up and running with SGP. With a comprehensive reference section, it takes the user in detail through the various aspects of user and equipment profiles, equipment definitions, the sequencer, and other essential elements of SGP. Finally, it focuses on how to get the most out of the ancillary programs???target databases, autoguiders, plate solvers, planetarium software, and other applications. Oftentimes, technical guides can end up being far denser than the processes they intend to explain. Many of the insights provided by SGP expert Alex McConahay are beyond what can be found in the official program documentation. In this book, the reader will find in-depth, yet straightforward practical advice on how to automate nightly astroimaging sessions with Sequence Generator Pro |

| Title | Lune |
| Author(s) | Romagnoli, Edoardo;Confalonieri, Giulio;Bianucci, Piero |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2010. |
| Description | 52 pagg. 16 figg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Un'opera unica nel suo genere, nata dall'incontro di due grandi artisti, il fotografo Edoardo Romagnoli e il designer Giulio Confalonieri, recentemente scomparso. Protagonista ?? la Luna, colta dall'obiettivo della macchina fotografica e ritratta attraverso fotografie sorprendenti e di forte impatto emotivo (alcune esposte al Guggenheim Museum di Venezia). Grafica e fotografia si susseguono e si inseguono, senza interferire l'una con l'altra. Un "passo a due", dove ogni pagina di grafica introduce una pagina di fotografia e, dopo ogni fotografia, appare una pagina di grande effetto grafico. La meraviglia ?? forte e il ritmo incalzante. Il legame ?? in copertina: una grande "E" (congiunzione) a rappresentare il rapporto forte tra design e fotografia, immagini e grafica, ma allo stesso tempo anche il profondo piacere dello stare insieme a parlare, fare e disfare, rifare e riparlare, dei due principali attori di quest'opera, il designer e il fotografo. Il tutto accompagnato dal contributo di Piero Bianucci, scrittore, giornalista e grande divulgatore, che conduce attraverso le affinit?? e le contrapposizioni delle due facce dell'opera (richiamo naturale alle due facce della Luna): luce/ombra, chiaro/scuro, giorno/notte, vita/morte, bianco/nero. Un testo che, partendo dall'ambivalenza mitologica della Luna, arriva a parlare della sua luce e del suo colore/non colore, del paradosso del plenilunio (mai visibile, a rigore, perch?? quando Sole-Terra-Luna sono perfettamente allineati si ha una eclisse totale di Luna), della Luna in rapporto alla scansione del tempo e degli influssi veri e presunti di questo astro che da sempre ha affascinato l'uomo |

| Title | Breakthrough! : 100 Astronomical Images That Changed the World |
| Author(s) | Gendler, Robert;GaBany, R. Jay |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIII, 171 p. 101 illus., 73 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This unique volume by two renowned astrophotographers unveils the science and history behind 100 of the most significant astronomical images of all time. The authors have carefully selected their list of images from across time and technology to bring to the reader the most relevant photographic images spanning all eras of modern astronomical history. Based on scientific evidence today we have a basic notion of how Earth and the universe came to be. The road to this knowledge was paved with 175 years of astronomical images acquired by the coupling of two revolutionary technologies ??? the camera and telescope. With ingenuity and determination humankind would quickly embrace these technologies to tell the story of the cosmos and unravel its mysteries. This book presents in pictures and words a photographic chronology of our aspiration to understand the universe. From the first fledgling attempts to photograph the Moon, planets, and stars to the marvels of orbiting observatories that record the cosmos at energies beyond the range of human vision, astronomers have always relied on images to "break through" to the next level of understanding. A subset of these breakthrough images has profound significance in documenting some of the greatest milestones in modern astronomy |
