It is \npossible to reduce the effects of a poor location by the use of CCD \nimaging, but many observers prefer to look at astronomical objects rather \nthan photograph them. \nSkill, observing techniques, and modern technology - such as image \nintensifiers - can now be used to astonishing effect to observe the night \nsky in real-time.  Illustrating the book with images and some of his own \nsuperb drawings, Antony Cooke explains how to observe some of the most \nspectacular objects from less than perfect observing sites.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-09-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852337070\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b97514\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 265\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661834240140,"sku":"9781852337070","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852337070.jpg?v=1776434336","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852337070","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
