For many astronomers, the holy grail of observation is to discover
a comet, not least because comets always bear the name of their
discoverer! Hunting and Imaging Comets was written for comet
hunters and digital imagers who want to discover, rediscover,
monitor, and make pictures of comets using astronomical CCD cameras
and DSLRs. The old days of the purely visual comet hunter are
pretty much over, but this is not to say that amateurs have lost
interest in finding comets. The books also covers the discovery of
comet fragments in the SOHO image data, CCD monitoring of older
comets prone to violent outbursts, the imaging of new NEOs (Near
Earth Objects) that have quite often been revealed as comets - not
asteroids - by amateur astronomers, and the finding of recent
comets impacting Jupiter.
