It is often said that users of small telescopes can conduct worthwhile scientific work, but how is seldom explained except in the context of observations carried out by the most advanced amateur astronomers. This book provides the necessary introduction derived from the author's many year of experience in teaching the subject that will be the starting point for serious work.
The dozens of projects collected here are a combination of observations suitable for current research (such as classifying sun-spots or monitoring binary stars) and recreating classic experiments (such as determining the speed of light by timing Jupiter's moons). Besides ample nuggets for science projects, a motivated amateur will gain understanding by doing the work, and add purpose to his or her observations.
