Editorial Review Product Description Deep-Sky Video Astronomy is a concise guide to using modern integrating video cameras for deep-sky viewing and imaging with the kinds of modest telescopes available commercially to amateur astronomers. It includes an introduction and a brief history of the technology, camera types, etc. The authors then examine the pros and cons of this unrefrigerated yet highly efficient technology, which is already beginning to compete with expensive astronomical cooled-chip CCD cameras in quality and ease of use. There is a thorough examination of accessories used to achieve particular results. Examples are focal reducers, Barlow lenses, and optical filters. However, the focus is mostly on the practical side of creating beautiful and detailed astronomical portraits using image-stacking software, enhancement tools like PhotoShop, and creating color images with a black-and-white camera. Practical step-by-step examples supported by tried and trusted tips show how to achieve the best possible deep-sky video portrait! Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group. Groups in the local universe offer the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. In the cosmological context, groups trace large-scale structures better than clusters; the evolution of groups and clusters appears to be related. All these aspects of research are summarized in this book. |

Editorial Review Product Description Now in its 4th edition, this classic text presents a quantitative understanding of a range of astrophysical concepts. Emphasizing physical concepts, the book outlines cosmic events but does not portray them in detail. Instead, it provides a series of astrophysical sketches showing how to obtain quantitative insights into the structure and evolution of stars, the dynamics of cosmic gases, the large-scale behavior of the universe, and the origins of life. Nearly every part of the text has been reconsidered and rewritten for the new edition; new sections cover recent developments, and the remainder has been revised and brought up to date.

too vague
Comprehensive and interesting This book strikes a nice balance betweenmathematical sophistication and generality, but it can be a littledifficult to read in places, particularly for someone without a strongphysics background.Since my class consists mostly of interested,advanced, non-physics majors I didn't feel that the book meshed well withmy class goals.However, the book did suit *me* very well and I'm using itextensively as a source of examples, additional problems and lecturepreparation. I selected "Modern Astrophysics" by Carroll andOstlie as the class text because it was a little more wordy and explanitoryand because the "astrophysical sketch" approach taken inHarwitt'sbook is fine for someone who has a strong background in physics(which is, after all, the intended audience) but not "userfriendly" enough for advanced students from other fields. It was atough choice though - this is an excellent book. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The second edition of Electronic Imaging in Astronomy: Detectors and Instrumentation describes the remarkable developments that have taken place in astronomical detectors and instrumentation in recent years – from the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in 1970 to the current era of very large telescopes, such as the Keck 10-meter telescopes in Hawaii with their laser guide-star adaptive optics which rival the image quality of the Hubble Space Telescope. Authored by one of the world’s foremost experts on the design and development of electronic imaging systems for astronomy, this book has been written on several levels to appeal to a broad readership. Mathematical expositions are designed to encourage a wider audience, especially among the growing community of amateur astronomers with small telescopes with CCD cameras. The book can be used at the college level for an introductory course on modern astronomical detectors and instruments, and as a supplement for a practical or laboratory class. Customer Reviews (5)
Excellent book on instrumental astronomy
Outstanding, Simply Outstanding!
Excellent book for beginner and expert
Very nice book!
best for the CCD ultra-enthusiast It is hard toimagine someone who would get something useful out of every chapter; theultra beginner could learn the basics better elsewhere, but would find thetechnical chapters hard slogging, while the CCD enthusiast will make thecomplementary choices. Exercises suggest the author may have imaginedthis to be a text book, but the poor general coverage and excellenttechnical coverage make this instead a reference for techies. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Today, the Sun is observed using different techniques that provide an almost instantaneous 3-D mapping of its structure. Of particular interest is the study of its variability characterised by the 11-year cycle. However, solar activity also varies on longer time scales, as has been attested through indirect methods as the number of sunspots and the records of cosmogenic isotopes, such as 14C and 10Be. The reconstruction of past solar activity may be also complemented by the study of historical accounts. In this book we will describe how these events can be used to obtain information on parameters as solar rotation (sunspot drawings), coronal structure (aurorae and total eclipses) and radius determinations (total eclipses). |

Editorial Review Product Description This volume deals specifically with recent original research in the history of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Islamic, and Indian astronomy. It strikes a balance between landmarks in the history of ancient and medieval astronomy in the Orient on one hand, and on the other the transmission of European astronomy into the countries of the Orient. Most contributions are based on research by experts in this field. The book also indicates the status of astronomy research in non-European cultural areas of the world. It will be of interest to historians of astronomy and science, and students of cultural heritage. |
