I like this book very much [Solar Astronomy]
Recently heard about a new book from Cloudynights which is coauthored by several well-known solar imagers and observers using Coronado scopes. I bought it without hesitation through a local vendor. This new book is titled Observing the Sun with Coronado Telescopes, ISBN : 9780387681269.This book is written by an English guy, who has sought the help from larry alvarez and many other well-known solar observers. It is filled with many many colour photos that accompanies the chapters. The content of the book includes information and knowledge of the Sun in detail, which could be found in many astronomy books. What is most interesting about the book is the in depth details of each coronado telescope and the technical aspects of them. Includes many explanations of how to do imaging, and many questions that many people were curious about. Uptill now, i don't regret buying it.

This is exactly the type of book which I try to avoid - it makes me poorer! Heh.. just kidding.
I'll browse through it when I feel like being tempted..
