When can you see fireballs and who should you contact if you spot
one? When is it best to hunt for comets and meteors and
whereabouts? How do you gauge the size of the coma in the head of a
comet and estimate its degree of condensation? Clear and easy to
use, this guide shows you how to make successful and valuable
observations and records of comets, asteroids, meteors and the
zodiacal light. For each topic the historical background and
current scientific understanding support a wealth of observational
techniques. Comet observers are shown techniques for search and
discovery. They can learn how to make visual estimates of
brightness and size, and how to make photographic studies of
cometary heads and tails. Asteroid hunters will find a 'life list'
of quarry and guidelines on how to search for these objects and
then how to photograph or electronically image them. Fruitful
photographic and electronic methods for studying meteors and meteor
showers are provided. Visual and photographic techniques show you
how to examine the often elusive zodiacal light.
