How to Use an Astronomical Telescope: A Beginner’s Guide to Observing the Cosmos

irwanbee — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:47:40 +0000

Product Description

Astronomy has never been a more popular pastime than it is today. The increased availability of less expensive, more powerful, and more sophisticated telescopes has given rise to a new generation of stargazers. And for these beginning astronomers here is the comprehensive book covering everything from the difficult task of selecting an instrument to the equally daunting choices that arise when a telescope is turned to the heavens.

Renowned British astronomer and author James Muirden takes the fledgling astronomer by the hand in his new book, offering tips on:

* the purchase, assembly, and orientation of your new telescope
* how to observe and chart the Sun, Moon, planets, stars and comets
* how to investigate the deep-sky objects — clusters, nebulae, and other galaxies beyond the Milky Way

The final chapter, “Windows into Space,” explores ten carefully selected regions featuring noteworthy examples of double stars, galaxies, and nebulae, as well as more obscure objects seldom examined by astronomers.

How to Use an Astronomical Telescope offers completely revised and updated location charts with detailed coordinates, tables, appendixes, and numerous illustrations and photographs, making it the essential volume for one’s first exploration of the cosmos.

Sky Vistas: Astronomy for Binoculars and Richest-Field Telescopes

irwanbee — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:35:41 +0000

Product Description
This book is primarily a practical guide for observers with normal or giant binoculars, or ‘richest-field’ telescopes, who wish to get the most out of their instruments. Apart from that, it is also a readable, well-illustrated book for ‘arm-chair observers’. The central point of interest is wide-field astronomy – areas of the night sky that are particularly rich in objects. The Milky Way itself is the ultimate ‘wide-field’ object and therefore its general features and the regions rich in clusters and nebulae are described. A chapter on clusters emphasizes open clusters best viewed in binoculars followed by a chapter on large but faint nebulae invisible to standard telescopes but visible to binoculars. The last chapter deals with fields in which groups of bright galaxies can be seen. The full-page color and black-and-white photos are one of the best features of this book and make it appealing to the general reader. The practical observer is shown exactly where objects are with respect to one another.

Renaissance Vision from Spectacles to Telescopes

irwanbee — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:44:36 +0000

Product Description
This book deals with the history of eyeglasses from their invention in Italy ca. 1286 to the appearance of the telescope three centuries later. By the end of the 16th century eyeglasses were as common in western & central Europe as desktop computers are in western developed countries today. Eyeglasses served an important technological function at both the intellectual & practical level, not only easing the textual studies of scholars but also easing the work of craftsmen/small businessmen. An important synthesis of this book is that Florence, rather than Venice, seems to have dominated the commercial market for eyeglasses during the 15th century, when two crucial developments occurred: the ability to grind convex lenses for various levels of presbyopia & the ability to grind concave lenses for the correction of myopia. As a result, eyeglasses could be made almost to prescription by the early 17th century. Illus.
