Brian Warner

A Practical Guide to Lightcurve Photometry and Analysis (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This practical text provides those with access to even a modest telescope and a CCD camera the background and detailed steps to contribute to astronomical research, including joint projects in which they can take part, as well as techniques for gathering, analyzing, and publishing their data. The text helps the reader understand - and avoid - common pitfalls in the process, and offers detailed examples on how to obtain and analyze data. Under "choosing the right software," the author looks critically at the commercially-available packages, providing screen shots and useful advice. Amateur astronomers who want to go beyond CCD imaging will find everything they need to step into the world of "real" science.
