Riassunto

""A Manual of Spherical and Practical Astronomy V2: Theory and Use of Astronomical Instruments"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and methods of astronomy, written by William Chauvenet and first published in 1891. The second volume of the series focuses on the theory and use of astronomical instruments, including telescopes, sextants, and other tools used by astronomers to observe and measure celestial objects. The book covers topics such as the measurement of time, the calculation of astronomical coordinates, and the use of instruments for determining the positions and motions of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. It also includes detailed instructions for the use of various instruments, as well as practical exercises and examples to help readers apply the principles of astronomy in their own observations. With its clear and concise explanations and wealth of practical information, ""A Manual of Spherical and Practical Astronomy V2"" is an invaluable resource for students, amateur astronomers, and anyone interested in the science of astronomy.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
