Post by: Whitters on May 01, 2004, 22:53:00
The following books have been kindly donated to the OAS Library by Mr Kevin Brady.

 useful photographic atlas of the moon

2 Mars Observers Guide Neil Bone (a recent publication written for the
 last Mars apparition)

3 Observational Astronomy for Amateurs J B Sigewick (an excellent if
 somewhat technical book)

4 Collimation perspectives ( useful for newtonians)

5 Observing variable stars D H Levy (an american astronomer) an
 easy-going book

6 Surface of Mars M Carr Photos of last Viking landing)

7 Duststorms of Mars by present mars Director of the BAA. A very useful
 history of duststorms

8 Jupiter Gary Hunt and Patrick Moore ( a bit dated at this time, but
 interesting)

9 Variable Stars by G Wenzel translated by Storm Dunlop)

10/12 Burnhams Celestial Handbook (as you see in three volumes) excellent for
     Deep Sky observing and double stars. Anything beyond the Solar
     System.!!

Many thanks to Kevin for the kind donation.

Thanks.

I think I'll need to do another juggle on the contents of the library's boxes. I could also use a hand moving the library cupboard back to my garage some time. It'll take at least two to lift and a third to hold doors open, etc. Any volunteers.
