It covers observing all types of celestial objects with expert advice, helping readers perform meaningful scientific observations. This classic paperback remains a foundational resource for anyone eager to explore astronomy practically and join a passionate community. ## Description Patrick Moore has pulled together a group of professional and amateur astronomers, each an expert in a particular field, to describe how to observe every category of object that is within reach of an astronomical telescope of modest size. Each chapter deals with a different class of object, covering the whole range of possibilities from the Moon, planets and stars to more specialised observations of comets, novae, and meteors. If you own - or are thinking of buying - an astronomical telescope, here is the book that will help you get the most enjoyment out of it. It also explains how best to use your telescope for proper scientific observations, for astronomy is one of the few remaining areas of science where a lot of useful work can be carried out by non-professionals. A companion book, The Modern Amateur Astronomer , deals with the non-observational aspects of astronomy, from buying a telescope (or making your own), through electronic equipment and accessories, to more technical aspects such as spectroscopy and astrophotography. Review: The foundations of Practical Amateur Astronomy, Condensed - Those who have any experience with amateur astronomy have doubtless heard of Sir Patrick Moore. This is his classic introductory book on the subject. Yes it is a little dated, but it nevertheless is a useful springboard into the hobby. There are other, more recent additions to what has become one of the largest amateur astronomy reference series in publication, some written by Moore himself, some by others. If you are interested in amateur astronomy at all, you will certainly want to browse this series. It begins with this book. Review: Astronomer. - Great book, great price, great seller. As usual Music Magpie delivers the goods. As does the Patrick Moore series of books. Recommended. ## Features - Deep red paperback with scene of stars and dark sky. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,118,142 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #160 in Comets, Meteors & Asteroids #2,926 in Astrophysics & Space Science (Books) #4,016 in Astronomy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3 Reviews | ## Images ![The Observational Amateur Astronomer (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qrRMSTCDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The foundations of Practical Amateur Astronomy, Condensed *by J***K on June 4, 2016* Those who have any experience with amateur astronomy have doubtless heard of Sir Patrick Moore.
