The Hatfield SCT Lunar Atlas: Photographic Atlas for Meade, Celestron and other SCT Telescopes by Jeremy Cook
English | PDF (True) | 2005 | 129 Pages | ISBN : 1849969035 | 14 MB

SCT and Maksutov telescopes - which of course includes the best-selling models from Meade, Celestron, and other important manufacturers - reverse the visual image left for right, giving a "mirror image". This makes it extremely difficult to identify lunar features at the eyepiece of one of these instruments using conventional atlases, which show the Moon "upside-down" with south at the top.

Telescopes and Techniques: An Introduction to Practical Astronomy by Chris Kitchin
English | PDF (True) | 2003 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 1852337257 | 21.6 MB

The modern aspiring astronomer is faced with a bewil­ dering choice of commercially produced telescopes, including all the designs considered in the preceding chapter. Yet only four decades ago the choice for a small telescope would have been between just a refrac­ tor and a Newtonian reflector. That change has come about because of the enormous interest that has grown in astronomy since the start of the space age and with the mind-boggling discoveries of the past 30 or 40 years. Except for some of the very small instruments which are unfortunately often heavily promoted in general mail order catalogues, camera shops and the like, the optical quality of these commercially pro­ duced telescopes is almost uniformly excellent. Although one product may be slightly better for some types of observation, or more suited to the personal cir­ cumstances of the observer, than another, most of them will provide excellent observing opportunities. The same general praise cannot be applied, however, to the mountings with which many of these telescopes are provided, and those problems are covered in Chapter 6.

Merz Telescopes: A global heritage worth preserving by Ileana Chinnici
English | PDF,EPUB(Both True) | 2017 | 190 Pages | ISBN : 3319414852 | 21.5 MB

This book comprises a fascinating collection of contributions on the Merz telescopes in Italy that collectively offer the first survey on historical large refracting telescopes in the country, drawing on original documents and photographs. It opens with a general introduction on the importance of Merz telescopes in the history of astronomy and analyses of the local and international contexts in which the telescopes were made.

Real Astronomy with Small Telescopes: Step-by-Step Activities for Discovery

Real Astronomy with Small Telescopes: Step-by-Step Activities for Discovery by Michael K. Gainer
English | PDF(True) | 2006 | 156 Pages | ISBN : 1846284783 | 6 MB

This book demonstrates the use of an 80mm refractor and shows how it can be used as a real scientific instrument. The author is an experienced small telescope user and an astronomy educator, and he provides step-by-step instructions for numerous scientific activities. Users will find many activities and projects suitable for an 80mm refractor or 90mm reflector or Maksutov that have not been published elsewhere. Emphasis is on measurement and discovery activities rather than on casual observing. This book will provide amateur observers with the knowledge and skill that will help them make genuine contributions to the field of astronomy.

Video Astronomy on the Go: Using Video Cameras With Small Telescopes By Joseph Ashley
English | PDF | 2017 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3319469355 | 6 MB

Author Joseph Ashley explains video astronomy's many benefits in this comprehensive reference guide for amateurs. Video astronomy offers a wonderful way to see objects in far greater detail than is possible through an eyepiece, and the ability to use the modern, entry-level video camera to image deep space objects is a wonderful development for urban astronomers in particular, as it helps sidestep the issue of light pollution.

Telescopes and Techniques, 3rd Edition by C. R. Kitchin
English | PDF,EPUB | 2013 | 264 Pages | ISBN : 1461448905 | 11.28 MB

“Telescopes and Techniques” has proved itself in its first edition, having become probably one of the most widely used astronomy texts, both for numerate amateur astronomers and for astronomy and astrophysics undergraduates. The first and second editions of the book were widely used as set texts for introductory practical astronomy courses in many universities.
