Preface
With amateurs, students and teachers of astronomy in high schools and colleges partic-
ularly in mind, the Handbook of Practical prises an essential source of
current trends in astronomy and examines the broad variety of astronomical observa-
tions.
Methods used by amateur astronomers have changed significantly in recent years.
