Product DescriptionThe Night Sky Companion 2009  takes a look at astronomy every day over the course of the year offering  general history, soft science, trivia, observing guidance and motivation.

The Crazy Solar System: My 1st Astronomy Books

Product DescriptionMy Heavens! charts the progress of the author’s own substantial observatory (with additional material from amateur constructors of large observatories elsewhere) from conception, through design, plotting and construction, to using an observatory of the kind that all amateur astronomers would aspire to own. This book tells the “warts and all” tale of small beginnings in amateur astronomy, leading to the construction of a “top of the range” observatory at a house on the edge of a country village between Oxford and London. The author is a qualified building surveyor, and looks at building the observatory from his own professional perspective. There were of course many errors, problems, technical and organizational difficulties along the way, and the author never shies away from admitting his mistakes – and in doing so he reduces the chances of others falling into the same traps. Comparisons are made with similar large projects in the USA, taking. . . More >>
