Zusammenfassung:1. Astronomical sources -- 2. Observational limits -- 3. Telescopes -- 4. Seeing, speckles, and scintillation -- 5. Spectrographs -- 6. Dilute apertures -- 7. Single channelled detectors -- 8. Multi-chanelled incoherent detectors
"This account of current observational techniques emphasizes optical astronomy. Dr Walker, a world expert on astronomical instrumentation, has written a complete survey of the basic electromagnetic spectrum. He discusses the types and sources of stellar electromagnetic radiation and the range of telescopes that are used to observe them."--
