Это удобное и легкое для понимания руководство для охотников за солнечным затмением. Сейчас количество таких охотников исчисляется десятками тысяч. Каждое полное затмение видят десятки круизных судов, на борту каждого из которых помещаются порядка тысячи человек, выстраивая паром вдоль затмения. Десятки тысяч наблюдателей выезжают за границу, чтобы стать свидетелем этих редких астрономических событий. Есть несколько важных затмения предстоящих в будущее годы: в августе 2008 года в Сибири, а затем сместится в пустыню Гоби. В 2009 году затмение будет длится 6,З8 минут (это очень долго) в Тихом океане, к югу от Японии, ближе к Китаю. В южной части Тихого океана будет еще два больших затмения в 2010 и 2012 годах, которые будут видны даже из США. Технологии доступные для астрономов-любителей развиваются быстро. Последние добавления недорогие солнечные бинокли для белого света, и новое поколение доступных телескопов H-Alpha. Об этом также написано в книге.

формат pdf

Springer, 2004. - 326 pages. Double stars are the rule, rather than the exception: our solar system, having a single sun, is in the minority. Orbiting satellites, ground-based observatories and interferometers have all helped discover many hundreds of new pairs - but this has left enormous numbers of wide, faint pairs under-observed or not observed at all. This is where amateur astronomers can help. Bob Argyle, a professional astronomer at Cambr...

Springer, 2006. - 257 Pages. Most amateur astronomers yearn to observe more frequently. Many of them, however, live in urban and highly developed suburban areas that are heavily light polluted. Due to this light pollution, they are under the impression that deep sky objects—nebulae, galaxies, star clusters—are either invisible or not worth viewing from home. This book describes the many objects that can be seen in a bright urban sky, and shows...

The advantage of the ‘go-to’ capability is enormous...

Springer, 2007. - 326 pages. The Sun provides amateur astronomers with one of the few opportunities for daytime astronomy. In order to see the major features of our nearest star, special telescopes that have a very narrow visible bandwidth are essential. The bandwidth has to be as narrow as 1 ? 10-10 m (1 Angstrom) and centred on the absorption line of neutral hydrogen. This makes many major features of the Sun’s chromosphere visible to the obse...

Springer, 2009. - 303 pp. Ever since the serendipitous discovery of planet Uranus in 1871, astronomers have been hunting for new worlds in the outer regions of our solar system. This exciting and ongoing quest culminated recently in the discovery of hundreds of ice dwarfs in the Kuiper belt, robbed Pluto from its ‘planet’ status, and led to a better understanding of the origin of the solar system. This timely book reads like a scientific ‘who don...
