A comprehensive guide for every amateur astronomer who hopes to do more than just star-gaze. Each chapter deals with a different topic, and each has been written by a professional or amateur astronomer who has been chosen by Patrick Moore as an expert in his speciality. Topics range from buying a telescope (or making your own), through electronic equipment and accessories, to more technical aspects such as spectroscopy and astrophotography. A companion book, The Observational Amateur Astronomer , explains how to use a modest astronomical telescope for serious observing of the Moon, planets, stars and extragalactic objects.
