| Publisher Description: A companion for Peter Wlasuk's Observing the Moon, here is the definitive guide for planetary observers. Packed with detail for observers and including the most recent mappings and findings, Observing the Planets is destined to become the bible for every amateur astronomer who has more than a passing interest in our neighbours in the solar system.Each of the six innermost planets is dealt with in great detail, according to its features and the way it can be observed using Earth-based telescopes. The distant planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - which do not exhibit observable features, are treated in a different way, according to the goals of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers Remote Planets Section.Video and colour CCD Imaging are also covered.Observing the Planets is a must have for every planetary observer. |
