TitleTransit when planets cross the sun: When Planets Cross the Sun
Author(s)Michael Maunder
PublicationLondon, Springer-Verlag, 2000.
Descriptionviii, 164p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteAlthough transits of planets across the Sun are rare (only Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun closer than us, and so can transit the Sun's disc) amateur astronomers can observe, record and image other kinds of transit, which are very much more frequent. Transit is in two parts, the first telling the fascinating story of the early scientific expeditions to observe transits. The second part is for practical observers, and explains how to observe transits of all sorts - even transits of aircraft as they fly between the observer and the Sun!

TitleSun in eclipse
Author(s)Michael Maunder;Patrick Moore
PublicationLondon, Springer-Verlag, 1998.
Descriptionvii,211p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteA total eclipse of the Sun is due in August 1999. It will attract alot of interest because - unusually - it will be visible in much of Europe and the UK. A total Solar Eclipse is always fascinating. This book is for everyone that wants to know 1. What a Solar Eclipse is 2. The phenomena one can expect to see 3. How to photograph an eclipse using a variety of methods 4. How to plan for an eclipse expedition. The book not only covers the 1999 eclipse but also past and future eclipses which we can look forward to. This book is also interesting to "armchair astronomers" as it contains alot of historical and anecdotal information. There's even a final chapter on "Eclipse Mishaps and Oddities" including the American eclipse expedition of 1780 that missed the total eclipse because they went to the wrong location!
