Each time they have passed by, orbited, and landed on the Moon we have accumulated an incredible amount of data about our satellite and about the rest of the galaxy. In the same period, stargazing technology has advanced to an unprecedented level of sophistication. Even "basic" low-tech binoculars and telescopes permit astounding views of the night sky.In clear language and with full color photographs and illustrations throughout, this second edition of "Moon Observer's Guide" has been updated and revised throughout to incorporate these exciting advances, including more than 20 new images and information about new digital imaging techniques and technology, such as DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras, webcams, and mobile apps. The updates also include the latest science garnered from lunar probes and missions recently and currently exploring the Moon.The topics include: The birth of the Moon The Moon's orbit Moonlight Guidelines for choosing binoculars and telescopes Ways of recording observations Digital and conventional photography Using internet resources, personal computers and lunar software programs Safety tips for observing the Moon during solar and lunar eclipses Eclipses and occultations The space-age Moon."Moon Observer's Guide" provides practical guidance to amateur astronomers viewing Earth's only natural satellite whether with the naked eye or binoculars and telescopes.
