To
date, I have written a book for Patrick Moore's practical astronomy
series for Springer-Verlag. Observing the Sun with Coronado Telescopes
was released in November 2007. It gives an introduction to narrowband
solar filtering, one of the great innovations in amateur astronomy
since the turn of the millenium. I have been very much at the forefront
of this new revolution and am one of the leading users of the
entry-level Personal Solar Telescope (PST). It has accompanied my
around the world and I have taken several hundred photographs through
it. On the subject of photographs, Nick Howes has written an extensive
chapter on the subject. Larry Alvarez has written a chapter on the top
range telescope, the MaxScope (or SolarMax 90). Other contributors have
written about other telescopes in the range to supplement my own
investigations and trials.
