TitleAstronomical equipment for amateurs
Author(s)Martin Mobberley
PublicationLondon, Springer-Verlag, 1999.
Descriptionxiii, 266p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteTelescopes - refractors and reflectors - are the main items of equipment used by almost every amateur astronomer. The purpose of astronomical telescopes is to collect and focus more light than the human eye can, forming an image that can be viewed, photographed, or analysed. Astronomical Equipment for Amateurs makes buying and using both telescopes and their ancillary instruments easy for astronomers of all abilities. It begins by looking at the advantages and disadvantages of the basic types of refractors, reflectors, mountings and accessories. Observation techniques are also included, along with the use of filters, (colour, anti-pollution and nebula), types of photography (piggy-back, prime focus and eyepiece projection), and also CCD imaging (including types of CCD camera and their advantages and disadvantages compared to photography). Martin Mobberley provides a fascinating insight into astronomical software.

TitleBinocular astronomy
Author(s)Stephen Tonkin (ed.)
PublicationLondon, Springer-Verlag, 2007.
Descriptionxv, 284p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteThis book contains everything an astronomer needs to know about binocular observing. The book takes an in-depth look at the instruments themselves. It has sections on evaluating and buying binoculars and binocular telescopes, their care, mounting, and accessories. In addition there is a selection of fifty fine objects to be seen with 50mm and 100mm binoculars. The advantages of using both eyes for astronomical observing are many and considerable, largely because of the way the human brain processes visual information. This book enables the astronomer to maximize those advantages.
