{"product_id":"hunting-and-imaging-comets-martin-mobberley-9781441969040","title":"Hunting and Imaging Comets","description":"For many astronomers, the holy grail of observation is to discover a comet, not least because comets always bear the name of their discoverer  Hunting and Imaging Comets was written for comet hunters and digital imagers who want to discover, rediscover, monitor, and make pictures of comets using astronomical CCD cameras and DSLRs. The old days of the purely visual comet hunter are pretty much over, but this is not to say that amateurs have lost interest in finding comets. The books also covers the discovery of comet fragments in the SOHO image data, CCD monitoring of older comets prone to violent outbursts, the imaging of new NEOs (Near Earth Objects) that have quite often been revealed as comets - not asteroids - by amateur astronomers, and the finding of recent comets impacting Jupiter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Mobberley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441969047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441969040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011","brand":"Martin Mobberley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123652751615,"sku":"9781441969040","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adc6bcdb-87ea-4907-a824-0a535e5c833b.jpg?v=1687432080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hunting-and-imaging-comets-martin-mobberley-9781441969040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
