About this book
Reviews
“This book should be required reading for anyone thinking of embarking on the construction of one of these instruments, and the first half makes a good primer for anyone embarking on less-sophisticated solar observation.” (Mike Rushton, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1260), October, 2017)
“This book, which is definitely aimed at experienced astronomy buffs, provides an argument for an alternative way to select out colors–something that has become far more practical with the advent of digital cameras. … There is a significant amount of theory and history presented, most of which can be followed by individuals familiar with calculus-based university physics. … Summing Up: Recommended. Professionals and practitioners only.” (D. J. Van Domelen, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
