Celestial Objects for Modern Telescopes: Practical Amateur Astronomy Volume 2

 

根據Michael Covington在業餘天文學家職業生涯中的現場說明,本指南涵蓋了研究夜空的傳統和新穎的方法。除了更標準的技術,它還討論了當今天文學家可用的最新現代資源,如個人電腦,互聯網和電腦望遠鏡。 Covington包括有關選址和天氣的實用建議;觀察太陽,月球,行星和深空物體的詳細說明和更新的專業,如衛星觀測和使用天文數據庫。為了補充如何使用電腦望遠鏡,本書吸引了更多傳統設備的天文學家。

Michael A. Covington是格魯吉亞大學的副研究科學家。他是一名在人類語言的計算機處理和人類邏輯推理的計算機模擬方面受過培訓的計算語言學家,也是廣泛認可的Prolog編程語言專家。他是“計算機與互聯網術語詞典”,“第七版”(Barron's,2000),“業餘天文攝影”(劍橋,1999年),深度PROLOG編程(Simon&Schuster,1996年),劍橋攝影指南1993)和“高中時期的語法理論”(Cambridge,1985)。 Covington電氣和電子工程師協會的資深成員是“Poptronics”雜誌的前“Q&A”專欄作家的著作編輯。

Based on field notes made by Michael Covington throughout his career as an amateur astronomer, this guide covers both the traditional and novel approaches to studying the night sky. In addition to the more standard techniques, it discusses the latest modern resources available to today's astronomer, such as personal computers, the internet, and computerized telescopes. Covington includes practical advice on site selection and weather; detailed instructions for observing the Sun, Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects; and newer specialities such as satellite observing and the use of astronomical databases. Written to complement How to Use a Computerized Telescope, this book appeals to astronomers with more traditional equipment. Michael A. Covington is an associate research scientist at the University of Georgia. He is a computational linguist trained in the computer processing of human languages and the computer modeling of human logical reasoning, and a widely recognized expert on the Prolog programming language. He is the author of nine books including Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms, Seventh Edition (Barron's, 2000), Astrophotography for the Amateur (Cambridge, 1999), PROLOG Programming in Depth (Simon & Schuster, 1996), Cambridge Eclipse Photography Guide (1993), and Syntactic Theory in the High Middle Ages (Cambridge, 1985). A senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Covington is a Contributing Editor to, and former "Q&A" columnist of Poptronics magazine.
