IF YOU'RE AN AMATEUR astronomer with a particular fixation on our star, then this book is for you. Solar Astronomy: Observing, Imaging, and Studying the Sun is a (quite possibly the) compendium of information about solar astronomy with an emphasis on modern equipment and imaging techniques. That said, it's a lot to take in, so be prepared. Solar Astronomy is an update and English-language translation of Astronomie Solaire, published in France in 2018. The book's stated goal is to be a comprehensive guide to solar-observing techniques, and its cast of 14 authors helps make it such. Each contributor has his (yes, they're all male) own area of expertise. Some are telescope makers and engineers; others are historians or specialize in imaging and data analysis.
