Product Description
Review
"Covering the physical characteristics of Mercury and Venus and then outlining the instruments and techniques employed to observe them in a single book was always going to be ambitious. ... Peter Grego has had a good stab at it and the resulting text contains hardly any filler in its 262 pages. ... it s an approachable read that you will return to again and again. Hopefully, it will inspire more astronomers to observe and record the inner planets." --Grant Privett, BBC Sky at Night, June, 2008
Product Description
Venus and Mercury have always been regarded as difficult targets for amateurs, but advances in commercially-made instruments have brought them within range of only moderately experienced observers. The concept of this book is to present an up-to-date detailed description of the history and geology of the inferior planets, and also to provide the best information about observing and recording them with commercially-available telescopes and cameras.
