متن يادداشت

"David Levy has held a lifelong passion for comets, and is one of the most successful comet discoverers in history. In this book he describes the observing techniques that have been developed over the years - from visual observations and searching, to photography, to electronic charge-coupled devices (CCDs). He combines a history of comet hunting with accounts of the latest techniques, showing how our understanding of comets has evolved over time." "The book is suitable as a practical handbook for amateur astronomers, from those who are casually interested in comets and how to observe them, to those who want to begin and expand an observing program of their own. David Levy draws widely from his own experiences of a lifetime of observing comets, describing how enthusiastic amateurs can observe comets and try to make new discoveries themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
