Double Stars - Όλες οι εκδόσεις

[B.D. Foxmoor]

Παραθέτω μια ιστοσελίδα που έχει ό,τι βιβλίο σχεδόν έχει κυκλοφορήσει αναφορικά με τα Διπλά Άστρα.

Το site ανήκει σε έναν Αμερικάνο Ερασιτέχνη Αστρονόμο.

Έχω ήδη 2-3 από αυτά

Άγγελε καταπληκτικό link. Έχει κάποια βιβλία που φαίνονται να έχουν πολύ ενδιαφέρον.

Ευχαριστούμε!

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ,ξέρεις πως θα μπορούσα να βρώ κάτι τέτοιο απο Ελλάδα???

 

 

Ευχαριστώ,

[B.D. Foxmoor]

Από Ελλάδα ίσως βρεις κάποια στα μεγάλα βιβλιοπωλεία (πχ Παπασωτηρίου) ή ίσως τα παραγγείλεις μέσω αυτών.Ρώτησε και θα σου πουν.

 

Εγώ πάντως τα περισσότερα που έχω αγοράσει για την Αστρονομία τα πήρα από εδώ:

Έχει πολύ καλές τιμές, και πληρώνεις μόνο ό,τι λέει.Τα ταχυδρομικά περιλαμβάνονται στην τιμή.

Σε πολύ λίγες μέρες έρχονται στο γραμματοκιβώτιο σου.Μόνο μειονέκτημα για κάποιους ότι χρειάζεσαι πιστωτική.

Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ,

Hi Nompi,

 

As Angellos pointed out, there are quite a few excellent texts on the market to purchase. I have copies of the Webb Society book on Double Stars and the Observing Visual Double Stars by Paul Couteau. The indispensable Burnham's Celestial Handbook is another good choice.

I find the Webb Society book to be full of good information for an introduction to doubles. I am not familiar with the other texts listed on the web site that Angellos mentioned. The Webb Society book is 120 pages in length. Its table of contens is thus...

 

Part One

Introduction (page 1)

1. A Brief History of Double star Observing (page 5)

2. Types of Double Stars (page 13)

3. Observing Method (page 17)

4. Recording Observations (page 25)

5. Micrometers for Double Star Measurement (page 31)

6. Photography of Double Stars (page 49)

7. Brief Biographies of Double Star Observers (page 59)

 

Part Two

A Catalog of Double Stars for Amateur Observers

Introduction (page 73)

(i) Measures (page 77)

(ii) Notes (page 100)

 

References and Bibliography (page 117)

 

The Webb Society book is softcover and cost $7.50 in 1982. I do not know what the current price is.

 

The BAA (British Astronomical Association) in its Deep Sky section, has a Double Star Advisor. The web site is at http://britastro.org/baa/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/

They may also be of aid to you.

 

I have enjoyed looking at star double stars off and on over the years. The challenge is to see how close a pair ones telescope will split under very good seeing conditions. Yes, those terrible seeing conditions-as we all know to well.

 

If you end up buying one of the newer books, let us know what you think of it. I wouldn't mind buying an updated work on double stars.

PS- I forgot to add the link to the Double Star Section of the Webb Society in Britain, it is... http://www.webbdeepsky.com/notes/doublest01.html

Hey Fred!

 

I also have the "Double Stars for small telescopes" (Sky&Telescope Publishing) and i am waiting for the "Double and Multiple Stars, and How to Observe Them".

I also intend to buy the "Observing and Measuring Visual Double Stars (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy)" but it is said to be aiming for advanced Astronomers.

Thank you very much Fred,I will try to find one of these....

The website is also very usefull...
