متن يادداشت

"In this highly accessible book David Levy teaches the reader how variable stars work, and how to observe them. Using simple, non-technical terms, he explains how to get started with electronic (or CCD) observing, as well as how to observe variable stars visually through a small telescope or binoculars. Including a section on Southern Hemisphere stars, the book covers various types of object that can be observed by amateur astronomers, including more exotic phenomena like gamma-ray bursts, blazers, and polars. This book will serve to motivate anyone with even a basic interest in astronomy to begin observing these fascinating objects."--BOOK JACKET.
