| Title | Exploring the Universe : A Practical Guide for Hobbyists |
| Author(s) | Dire, James |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | VIII, 301 p. 340 illus., 288 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Have you ever wanted to get better at observing the universe but didn't know where to begin? Have you ever wondered what you are looking at in the night sky? Whether you are just beginning or an advanced amateur astronomer, you will want to have this book in your astronomical library. This book wraps up an entire astronomy course around the study of astronomical images, all of which have been taken by the author. The fascinating images contained herein will inspire readers to explore the descriptions of astronomical objects of all types and the physical processes they undergo throughout the universe. The author is both a career astronomy professor and an avid amateur astronomer who owns an arsenal of small telescopes for observing and conducting CCD imaging. The author???s descriptions are at a level any reader can follow. Using his own images, mostly taken with smaller telescopes as opposed to Hubble, James Webb, or multi-meter mountain top observatories, show amateur astronomers and hobbyists what can be accomplished by using modest and affordable equipment. The book begins with a primer on telescopes and the myriad types on the market today. You'll read about why there are so many models as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. This is followed by an introduction to astrophotography, a complete description of paper and digital star atlases available today, and a discussion on celestial nomenclature ??? why are celestial objects named what they are named! You'll learn about light, and how it interacts with matter to create what we see in the night sky. Finally, you'll go on a grand tour of the Universe, from the Moon and Sun to comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies |

| 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 |
