Springer New York The Sun and How to Observe It Astronomers Observing Guides
Book SynopsisThis is a completely up-to-date solar observing book, which, while providing the science background necessary for an understanding of the observations with the latest equipment, also features the most complete solar observing and imaging guide available.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Jenkins is an American amateur observer and he has written a very interesting book full of information for the solar enthusiast. … The author describes how a solar hydrogen-alpha filter works – very interesting to the beginner, and the old-time observer … . it is very well illustrated, with many of the images supplied by the author himself. … I recommend this book. … will be a good guide to observing our nearest star." (Brian Halls, Astronomy Now, August, 2009) "The author is quite obviously an experienced solar observer and imager, contributing to the AAVSO Sunspot Programme since I990. … This book is primarily a practical guide to observing and imaging solar features in white light … and the K-line. There is a detailed discussion of the types of telescope suitable for solar observing as well as lenses and filters. … I found this book enjoyable and easy to read, providing a comprehensive practical guide to solar observing in one volume."

The writing is clear and authoritative, and the diagrams and tables help the nonexpert reader to visualize the key ideas without having to wade through the mathematics usually found in a book on this subject. … Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; lower- and upper-division undergraduates." (T. Barker, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), August, 2007) "The celestial mechanics can be considered as the mathematical part of the astronomy, requiring a high level in mathematics and reserved to specialists … . The Waltz of the Planets offer a different insight, providing very basic mathematical tools to the reader, sufficient to enable him or her to understand the main topics of celestial planetary dynamics. The purpose is to present this discipline as accessible, interesting and amusing … . A book to recommand to students, astronomers … and celestial mechanicians."
