Book Synopsis Observing Nebulae by : Martin Griffiths
Download or read book Observing Nebulae written by Martin Griffiths and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables anyone with suitable instruments to undertake an examination of nebulae and see or photograph them in detail. Nebulae, ethereal clouds of gas and dust, are among the most beautiful objects to view in the night sky. These star-forming regions are a common target for observers and photographers. Griffiths describes many of the brightest and best nebulae and includes some challenges for the more experienced observer. Readers learn the many interesting astrophysical properties of these clouds, which are an important subject of study in astronomy and astrobiology. Non-mathematical in approach, the text is easily accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. A special feature is the inclusion of an observational guide to 70 objects personally observed or imaged by the author. The guide also includes photographs of each object for ease of identification along with their celestial coordinates, magnitudes and other pertinent information. Observing Nebulae provides a ready resource to allow anyone with a little experience in astronomy, whether professional or amateur, to locate, identify and record the nebulae in our home galaxy. The author enables the observer to use a telescope and filters to the best advantage to see these celestial wonders, or to couple filters to a CCD camera or digital SLR camera in order to take quality images of celestial objects. By using these techniques it is even possible to make a valid contribution to professional investigations. And the views are unbeatable.
Book Synopsis The Secret Doorway by : Paul Hutchins
Download or read book The Secret Doorway written by Paul Hutchins and published by Imagination Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pictorial drama of the creation of Heaven and Earth based upon the awe-inspiring photo images from the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. Author, Paul Hutchins uncovers a grand drama on a universal scale that has been playing out since the invention of the telescope. He poses the question, is this grand drama merely in response to an ancient invitation recorded in the Book of Isaiah? It states in Isaiah 40:26, ""Look up into the heavens."" Who created all the stars? Through the use of his imagination and the invention of the telescope, man has discovered a once secret doorway to a world beyond imagination. He has now, in this age of cutting edge technology developed flying space telescopes in his quest to know, how did we get here? What he has found has astounded him. Hutchins farther poses the question; if it took over 400 years of man’s imagination from when the telescope was invented, and countless other inventions including the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, to merely take photo images of the universe, then who’s imagination is responsible for the reality those photo images represent? As we peer through this doorway to the heavens and look upon these heavenly cosmic bodies, we find ourselves awed by their grandeur. The pressing question becomes too large to ignore. Who is responsible for all these things? Could it be that we are now peering into the mind of a supreme architect with an imagination far beyond that of mere mortals? Could we be peering into the mind of imagination supreme? Could it be that we have been brought to this point in history unbeknownst to ourselves and given this technology by the one who extended that ancient invitation recorded by Isaiah 2700 years ago?

Book Synopsis Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies by : Neale Monks
Download or read book Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies written by Neale Monks and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies is the first book specifically written for amateur astronomers who own, or who are about to purchase, a computer-controlled ‘go-to’ telescope. The advantage of the ‘go-to’ capability is enormous – the telescope can be aimed at any object in the sky with great speed and accuracy – which is why these instruments are so popular. Making the realistic assumption that the observer is using a relatively small telescope and is observing from a backyard in a suburban area, this book provides literally hundreds more targets beyond those offered by the built-in ‘nightly tours’ that feature on the telescope’s computer tours. And instead of wasting many pages on maps and coordinates, it leads the computer to locate the targets, and so has room to suggest many more fascinating deep-sky objects and provide detailed observing lists and information about what's being viewed.

Book Synopsis Concise Catalog of Deep-Sky Objects by : Warren H. Finlay
Download or read book Concise Catalog of Deep-Sky Objects written by Warren H. Finlay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the amateur astronomer who wants to know about the astrophysical nature of deep sky objects. The information is presented in a concise format and is equally valuable when used as background reading or, alternatively, at the telescope eyepiece. The past decades have seen an unprecedented increase in professional astronomers' understanding of astronomical objects. However, generally this information is contained in journal publications that most amateur astronomers either do not have access to or would find difficult to read. In this book, basic data on each object (e.g., magnitude, location, distance, age if known) is presented in a way that allows the reader to quickly access the information. This is followed by some remarks that capture the most fascinating astrophysical facts. Although there are thousands of deep sky objects observed by astronomers, only a small number of these are commonly observed by a wide audience. Thus, coverage here is limited to approximately 500 of the most commonly observed objects in the Northern Hemisphere and – an enhancement for the Second Edition – approximately 50 of those in the Southern Hemisphere. These are visible from the southern limits of the United States as well as from the southern continents. Another new feature of the Second Edition is the addition of amateur photographic images of all the Messier objects.

This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone, in today's society, is struggling with this mysterious thing called the business world and strives toward a higher understanding of its inner workings, and yet most books present the basic concepts with so much complexity and filled with so many arbitrary factors that the general public has given up on the subject and perforce has decided to retire to the sideline to be a spectator. In other words, his hope has been dashed aside and his dream of a higher understanding has not been fulfilled in any of the books. The present work is the culmination of many years of study, observation, and pondering on the dilemmas and enigmas of the business world. Within the confines of this book, one is given a chance to take an in-depth look and inspect first-hand, the code ombination of what makes a successful business. The basics are laid in simple terms and clear explanations express the powerful principles lucidly and dynamically, providing an unforgettable impression in the reader's mind. By avoiding undue complexities, the reader will achieve simplicity of thought and will be actually traveling in the direction of the actual why and thus be able to understand how to set up and manage any business. It is an interestingly uncommon book written primarily for the technical as well as the non-technical man. It is intended to serve several classes of our society a) The office workers and managers, b) The Business minded individuals, c) The business owners, d) The professional managaers. This book will surely serve also an important class of our society the technical inventors who is looking for inspirations and new ideas to imbue him with enough understanding to finalize and materialize his thoughts into reality. The broad importance of this work could be summed up as laying the foundation for the business world on a scientific basis where arbitrary factors are removed and technical superiority is substituted. This is a totally new approach to understanding our business world through the use of newly discovered fundamentals (missing in all business books), which add a tremendous amount of simplicity and clarity to our complex business world. This is a new approach unmatched in any extant text today. The discovery of these fundamentals will create a huge impact on our business world and will truly make our business arena revitalized with renewed interests in understanding its principles in a unit of time. This work has created a unified theory about the two distinct concepts: personal life and business world. Finally, this work paves the way for the scientist as well as the non-technical individual to formulate and develop a business plan that will crack open the business world and will end up handing the individual the key to his "personal life.
