Richard Schmude, "Comets and How to Observe Them"
Sp.rin.ger | 2010 | ISBN: 1441957898 | 254 pages | PDF | 5,1 MB
Comets have inspired wonder, excitement and even fear ever since they were first observed. But they are important members of the solar system, that contain material from early in the life of the system, held in deep-freeze. This makes them key in our understanding of the formation and evolution of many Solar System bodies.
Recent ground- and space-based observations have changed much in our understanding of comets. Comets, and How to Observe Them gives a summary of our current knowledge and describes how amateur astronomers can contribute to the body of scientific knowledge of comets. This book contains many practical examples of how to construct comet light-curves, measure how fast a comet’s coma expands, and determine the rotation period of the nucleus. All these examples are illustrated with drawings and photographs.
Because of their unpredictable nature comets are always interesting and sometime spectacular objects to observe and image. The second part of the book therefore takes the reader through the key observing techniques that can be used with commercially available modern observing equipment, from basic observations to more scientific measurements.

Jeff Lashley, "The Radio Sky and How to Observe It (Astronomers' Observing Guides)"
Publisher: S-ger | 2010 | ISBN: 144190882X | PDF | 246 pages | 9.6 MB
Radio astronomy is far from being beyond the scope of amateurs astronomers, and this practical, self-contained guide for the newcomer to practical radio astronomey is an ideal introduction.
This guide is a must for anyone who wants to join the growing ranks of 21st Century backyard radio astronomers.
The first part of the book pres background material and explains (in a non-mathematical way) our present knowledge of the stronger radio sources – those observable by amateurs – including the Sun, Jupiter, Meteors, Galactic and extra-galactic sources.
The second part of the book deals not only with observing, but – assuming no prior technical knowledge of electronics or radio theory – takes the reader step-by-step through the process of building and using a backyard radio telescope.
There are complete, detailed plans and construction information for a number of amateur radio telescopes, the simplest of which can be put together and working – using only simple tools – in a weekend. For other instruments, there are full details of circuit-board layouts, components to use and (vitally important in radio astronomy) how to construct antennae for radio astronomy.

Roger Dymock, "Asteroids and Dwarf Planets and How to Observe Them"
Sp--ger | 2010 | ISBN: 144196438X | 248 pages | PDF | 14 MB
Dwarf planets (which were formerly called asteroids except for the planet Pluto), and the smaller Solar System bodies still called asteroids today, are making front page news, particularly those that are newly discovered and those that might present a hazard to life on Earth by impacting our planet. In this age of giant telescopes and space probes, these small Solar System bodies have advanced from being tiny points of light to bodies worthy of widespread study.
This book describes the dwarf planets and asteroids themselves, their origins, orbits, and composition, and at how amateur astronomers can play a part in their detection, tracking, and imaging. The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes physical properties (including taxonomic types) of dwarf planets and asteroids, how they formed in the early life of the Solar System, and how they evolved to their present positions, groups, and families. It also covers the properties used to define these small Solar System bodies: magnitude, rotation rates (described by their light-curves), and orbital characteristics. Part II opens with a description of the hardware and software an amateur or practical astronomer needs to observe and also to image asteroids. Then numerous observing techniques are covered in depth. Finally, there are lists of relevant amateur and professional organizations and how to submit your own observations to them.

David H. Levy, "David Levy's Guide to Eclipses, Transits, and Occultations"
Cam--ge | 2010 | ISBN: 0521165512, 0511788045, 0511789505 | 184 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB
In this simple guide, David Levy inspires readers to experience the wonder of eclipses and other transient astronomical events for themselves. Covering both solar and lunar eclipses, he gives step-by-step instructions on how to observe and photograph eclipses. As well as explaining the science behind eclipses, the book also gives their historical background, discussing how they were observed in the past and what we have learned from them. This personal account contains examples from the 77 eclipses the author has witnessed himself.
The guide also includes chapters on occultations of stars and planets by the Moon and of asteroids by stars, and the transits of Mercury and Venus. Tables of future eclipses make this invaluable for anyone, from beginners to practised observers, wanting to learn more about these fascinating events.

Martin Mobberley, “Hunting and Imaging Comets (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)"
Springer | 2010-10-11 | ISBN: 1441969047 | 394 pages | PDF | 19 Mb
For many astronomers, the holy grail of observation is to discover a comet, not least because comets always bear the name of their discoverer! Hunting and Imaging Comets was written for comet hunters and digital imagers who want to discover, rediscover, monitor, and make pictures of comets using astronomical CCD cameras and DSLRs. The old days of the purely visual comet hunter are pretty much over, but this is not to say that amateurs have lost interest in finding comets.
The books also covers the discovery of comet fragments in the SOHO image data, CCD monitoring of older comets prone to violent outbursts, the imaging of new NEOs (Near Earth Objects) that have quite often been revealed as comets - not asteroids - by amateur astronomers, and the finding of recent comets impacting Jupiter.

PRACTICAL ASTRONOMY A TEXTBOOK FOR ENGINEERING SCHOOLS AND A MANUAL OF FIELD METHODS BY GEORGE L. HQSMER Associate Professor of Geodesy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology THIRD EDITION NEW YORK JOHN WILEY SONS, INC. LONDON CHAPMAN HALL, LIMITED TA-5C 1 Observation on Polaris for Azimuth Frontispiece CCflPYRIGHT, 1910, 1917 AND 1925 BY GEORGE L. HOSMER PREFACE THE purpose of this volume is to furnish a text in Practical Astronomy especially adapted to the needs of civil-engineering students who can devote but little time to the subject, and who are not likely to take up advanced study of Astronomy.
The text deals chiefly with the class of observations which can be made with surveying t instruments, the methods applicable to astronomical and geodetic instruments being treated b t briefly. It has been the authors intention to produce a book hich is intermediate between the text-book written for the student of Astronomy or Geodesy and the short chapter on the subject generally given in text-books on Surveying. The subject has therefore been treated from the standpoint of the engineer, who is interested chiefly in obtaining results, and those refinements have been omitted which are beyond the requirements of the work which can be performed with the engineers transit. This has led to the introduction of some rather crude mathematical processes, but it is hoped that these are presented in such a way as to aid the student in gaining a clearer conception of the prob lem without conveying wrong notions as to when such short-cut methods can properly be applied. The elementary principles have been treated rather elaborately but with a view to making these principles clear rather than to the introduction of refiner ments. Much space has been devoted to the Measurement of Time because this subject seems to cause the student more difficulty thar y other branch of Practical Astronomy. The attempt has I v J made to arrange the text so that it will be a convenient reference book for the engineer who is doing field work.
For convenience in arranging a shorter course those subjects ill iv PREFACE which are most elementary are printed in large type. The mat ter printed in smaller type may be included in a longer course and will be found convenient for reference in field practice, par ticularly that contained in Chapters X to XIII. The author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to those who have assisted in the preparation of this book, especially to Professor A. G. Robbins and Mr. J. W. Howard of the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology and to Mr. F. C. Starr of the George Washington University for valuable suggestions and crit icisms of the manuscript. G. L. H. BOSTON, June, 1910.
PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION THE adoption of Civil Time in the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac in place of Astronomical Time in effect in 1925 necessitated a complete revision of this book. Advantage has been taken of this opportunity to introduce several improve ments, among which may be mentioned the change of the no tation to agree with that now in use in the principal textbooks and government publications, a revision of the chapter on the different kinds of time, simpler proofs of the refraction and parallax formulae, the extension of the article on interpolation to include two and three variables, the discussion of errors by means of differentiation of the trigonometric formulae, the in troduction of valuable material from Serial 166, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, a table of convergence of the meridians, and several new illustrations.
In the chapter on Nautical As tronomy, which has been re-written, tfee method bf Marcq Saint-Hilaire and the new tables H. O. 201 and 203 for laying down Sumner lines are briefly explained. An appendix on Spherical Trigonometry is added for convenience of reference.
