Beschreibung
The second edition of Electronic Imaging in Astronomy: Detectors and Instrumentation describes the remarkable developments that have taken place in astronomical detectors and instrumentation in recent years ¿ from the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in 1970 to the current era of very large telescopes, such as the Keck 10-meter telescopes in Hawaii with their laser guide-star adaptive optics which rival the image quality of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Authored by one of the world¿s foremost experts on the design and development of electronic imaging systems for astronomy, this book has been written on several levels to appeal to a broad readership. Mathematical expositions are designed to encourage a wider audience, especially among the growing community of amateur astronomers with small telescopes with CCD cameras. The book can be used at the college level for an introductory course on modern astronomical detectors and instruments, and as a supplement for a practical or laboratory class.

Zusammenfassung
Collects all the fundamental astronomical observing techniques and methods into a single reference work
Unlike competing books, written at a level that will serve both advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as advanced amateur astronomers interested in this significant area of modern observational astronomy
Illustrates a wide range of principles and techniques using detailed case studies
Provides invaluable guidance for anyone interested in the design, development and characterisation of astronomical instrumentation
Presents the underlying principles behind the cameras, spectrometers and telescopes used to make important astronomical discoveries
