Telescope Optics : Complete Manual for Amateur AstronomersThe authors gratefully acknowledge the help of Klaas Compaan, who was our advisor during the writing of this book. He guarded us against a number of errors and unclarities and also allowed us to publish the data for some of the new optical systems he has designed.
We received further support from Richard Berry, our editor. He invested a... | | Practical IDL Programminghis book provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of programming in Interactive Data Language (IDL), an array-oriented data analysis and visualization environment developed and marketed by Research Systems, Incorporated (RSI) of Boulder, Colorado. IDL is available for Windows, MacOS, UNIX (including Linux), and VMS platforms.
The... | | The Herschel Objects and How to Observe Them (Astronomers' Observing Guides)
Many active amateur astronomers today, having already surveyed the clusters,
nebulae, and galaxies contained in the popular Messier and Caldwell catalogs, are
seeking new horizons to explore with their telescopes. None better can possibly be
found than those discoveries made by the great English astronomer Sir William
Herschel in... |

Foundations of Modern Cosmology
Recent discoveries in astronomy, especially those made with data collected by satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, have revolutionized the science of cosmology. These new observations offer the possibility that some long-standing mysteries in cosmology might be answered, including such... | | Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision
Humans still obtain the vast majority of their sensory input through their visual system, and an enormous effort has been made to artificially enhance this sense. Eyeglasses, binoculars, telescopes, radar, infrared sensors, and photomultipliers all function to improve our view of the world and the universe. We even have telescopes in orbit... | | Switch-Mode Power Converters: Design and AnalysisAn innovative and analytical approach to Power Electronics!
This book introduces an innovative, highly analytical approach to symbolic, closed-form solutions for switched-mode power converter circuits. This is a highly relevant topic to power electronics students and professionals who are involved in the design and analysis... |

Making Your Own TelescopeComplete, detailed instructions and numerous diagrams for constructing a do-it-yourself telescope. No complicated mathematics are involved, and no prior knowledge of optics or astronomy is needed to follow the text's step-by-step directions. Contents cover, among other topics, materials and equipment; tube parts and alignment; eyepieces, and... | | | | Philip's Atlas of the Universe
There are many atlases showing features on the surface of the earth, but this book is the only one (in late 1998, at least) to cover the whole universe. Patrick Moore, who has hosted BBC Radio's popular The Sky at Night program for more than 40 years, gives straightforward, though not simplistic, explanations of astronomical... |
