Volume 8: Variable Stars


This book covers the variable starsthose that vary in brightness with respect to time"Variable stars are not usually classed as 'deep-sky objectsbut they are as demanding as double stars or star clusters for observation," notes author John EIsles


Part I first explains the history of variable-star observing, followed by sections on classification, physical description, and observing techniquesPart II then provides an extensive field guide of finding charts covering 110 variable stars. Most of these are suitable for visual observation.


As Dr. Nikolai N. Samus of the USSR Academy of Sciences says of this volume in his foreword, "this book giv[es] an excellent possibility for any interested person to make a real contribution to variable-star science."
