Most amateur astronomers, because they live in or near cities, have to carry out their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. Illustrating the book with images and some of his own superb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most spectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites.
Most amateur astronomers, because they live in or near cities, have to
carry out their observing from relatively light-polluted sites. It is
possible to reduce the effects of a poor location by the use of CCD
imaging, but many observers prefer to look at astronomical objects rather
than photograph them.
Skill, observing techniques, and modern technology - such as image
intensifiers - can now be used to astonishing effect to observe the night
sky in real-time. Illustrating the book with images and some of his own
superb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most
spectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites.
