UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS AN INT...

The observational component of astronomy is an exciting and vital part of any astrophysics
degree. With the advent of low-cost astronomical cameras and remote and robotic operation  more
students than ever have the opportunity to observe and perform observatory research. This
updated and fully corrected textbook provides a comprehensive overview of practical observing
techniques for undergraduate astrophysics courses. The chapters introduce students to the
basics of the field before delving into telescope types  the nature and operation of the
astronomical camera  imaging techniques and reduction  photometry and spectrography  and solar
and radio observations. The second edition covers the latest research on calibrating the
telescope-camera-observatory system. It contains revised information on all available astronomy
equipment  including filters  webcams  sensors  and telescope designs. Also included is an
entirely new chapter on exoplanet transit measurements. The textbook's practical approach will
guide readers from basic first-year techniques to those required for a final-year project.
