Title: Planetary Astronomy - Observing, imaging and studying the planets (English edition)
Author: Christophe Pellier und weitere
This book is probably the most comprehensive work on amateur planetary observation in the world! On almost 300 pages, 7 of the most experienced planetary observers from different countries share their in-depth knowledge of observing, photographing and researching the seven major planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
A great deal of space is devoted to the instruments. It is not only about the individual telescope types, but also their adjustment and use. The detailed discussion of the subject of seeing, taking into account different telescope types and weather situations, is excellent. Various filters are also discussed in detail.
Photographers will find instructions on image capture and image processing using well-known programs such as Autostakkert, Registax and WinJupos. The chapter on data analysis of your own images is exemplary - pretty pictures become valuable data sources for worldwide observation programs.
The main part of the book is a comprehensive presentation of the individual planets with the possibilities for amateurs. The illustrations with the authors' results are great. A separate section is devoted to ideas for observation programs - including exotic ones such as mutual Jupiter moon apparitions.
Conclusion:
Anyone who wants to be up to date in terms of photography and observing the planets will find an enormous amount of information here that can only be obtained from the Internet with a great deal of effort and time. This impressive work will motivate you to experience the next opposition with more background knowledge and better photography techniques!
Version in English, translated from the original French. The language is easy to understand.
