An international conference entitled "Zdenek Kopal's Binary Star Legacy" was held on the occasion of the late Professor Kopal's 90th birthday in his home town of Litomy l/Czech Republic and dedicated to the memory of one of the leading astronomers of the 20th century.

Professor Kopal, who devoted 60 years of his scientific life to the exploration of close binary systems, initiated a breakthrough in this field with his description of binary components as non-spherical stars deformed by gravity, with surfaces following Roche equipotentials. Such knowledge triggered the development of new branches of astrophysics dealing with the structure and evolution of close binaries and the interaction effects displayed by exciting objects such as cataclysmic variables, symbiotic stars or X-ray binaries.

Contributions to this conference included praise of the achievements of a great astronomer and personal reminiscences brought forward by Kopal's former students and colleagues, and reflected the state of the art of the dynamically evolving field of binary research, which owes so much to the pioneering work of Zdenek Kopal."

Dieses Handbuch soll dem astronomisch interessierten Laien, dem Amateurastronomen ebenso wie dem Lehrer in der Schule Anleitungen fur die praktische astronomische Betatigung geben. Die sturmische Entwicklung der technischen und organisatorischen Voraussetzungen fur die Amateurbeobachtungen hat in der 4. Auflage in allen Kapiteln, einschliesslich einiger neuer Kapitel, ihren Niederschlag gefunden und zu einer deutlichen Erweiterung des Umfangs auf nunmehr 2 Bande, die einzeln erhaltlich sind. Aus den Besprechungen: ..". Die auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckten Beitrage sind ... im astronomischen Bereich einmalig. ... mustergultiges Fachbuch ... ersetzt muhelos eine sehr gute Bucherzusammenstellung, ... und ist dabei dennoch preiswerter als diese." "Rudolf-Romer-Sternwarte Mitteilungen" #1 Band 2 "Beobachtung und Praxis" stellt die Objekte der astronomischen Beobachtung (Sonnensystem, Fixsternwelt, Milchstrassensystem, extragalaktische Systeme) vor und gibt Anleitungen fur Beobachtungen, Messungen und Auswertungen im einzelnen. Band 1 "Technik und Theorie" informiert uber das grosser und leistungsfahiger gewordene instrumentelle Angebot fur Amateurastronomen, z.B. neuartige Strahlungsempfanger, moderne Halbleitertechnologie und elektronische Datenverarbeitung. Wichtige Methoden der Beobachtung und Datengewinnung (z.B. Photographie, Spektroskopie, Photometrie) werden ausfuhrlich in eigenen Kapiteln behandelt."
