This guide is a must for anyone who wants to join the growing ranks of 21st Century backyard radio astronomers. The first part of the book provides background material and explains (in a non - mathematical way) our present knowledge of the stronger radio sources - those observable by amateurs - including the Sun Jupiter Meteors Galactic and extra - galactic sources. The second part of the book deals not only with observing but - assuming no prior technical knowledge of electronics or radio theory - takes the reader step - by - step through the process of building and using a backyard radio telescope. There are complete detailed plans and construction information for a number of amateur radio telescopes the simplest of which can be put together and working - using only simple tools - in a weekend. For other instruments there are full details of circuit - board layouts components to use and (vitally important in radio astronomy) how to construct antennae for radio astronomy.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Radio Sky And How To Observe It\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Lashley Jeff\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Springer - Verlag New York Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781441908827\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 236 Pages, 43 Illustrations, Color; 94 Illustrations, Black And White; Xv, 236 P. 137 Illus., 43 Ill\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Astronomers' Observing Guides\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Astronomical Observation: Observatories, Equipment \u0026amp; Methods","brand":"Lashley Jeff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616563765553,"sku":"IN-G-9781441908827","price":39.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781441908827.jpg?v=1724632384","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781441908827-the-radio-sky-and-how-to-observe-it","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
