Gerald North's complete practical guide and resource package
instructs amateur astronomers in observing and monitoring variable
stars and other objects of variable brightness. Descriptions of the
objects are accompanied by explanations of the background
astrophysics, providing readers with real insight into what they
are observing at the telescope. The main instrumental requirements
for observing and estimating the brightness of objects by visual
means and by CCD photometry are detailed, and there is advice on
the selection of equipment. The book contains a CD-ROM packed with
resources, including hundreds of light-curves and over 600
printable finder charts. Containing extensive practical advice,
this comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for amateur
astronomers of all levels, from novices to more advanced observers.
Gerald North is a lifelong amateur astronomer. In addition to being
a member of the British Astronomical Association since 1977, he is
also the author of many books, including Advanced Amateur Astronomy
(Cambridge, 1997) and Observing the Moon (Cambridge, 2000).
