Titel

Planetary Astronomy

Beschrijving

Planetary Astronomy is a comprehensive book about observing, imaging, and studying planets. It has been written under my direction by seven authors, all being skillful amateur observers in their respective domains: Christian Viladrich, Marc Delcroix, Jean-Jacques Poupeau, Frédéric Burgeot, Giuseppe Monachino, and Jean-Pierre Prost. This is a translation of the book Astronomie planétaire who is a great success in France since 2015.

With Planetary Astronomy you will learn to:

- Make the best use of your equipment: choosing an instrument, setting correctly the optics of     the telescope, setting the camera, using planetary filters, train your eye to see all possible   details at the eyepiece
- Anticipate weather and seeing conditions, not to lose any good night
- Use in depth the best planetary softwares: Autostakkert!, Registax, and WinJupos, how to     objectively process details and colors
- Identify features on planets: each of the seven planets (but Earth of course) has a detailed   chapter that will help you to anticipate cycles of activity on Jupiter, recognize dust storms on   Mars, detect bright storms on Uranus or Neptune
- Analyse your data to go beyond simple observations: measuring position and details drifting     on planets, making cartographies, participate to advanced observing projects including   cooperation with scientists.
