Descrizione del libro

A major achievement of nineteenth-century astronomy, Admiral William Henry Smyth's Sidereal Chromatics (1864) presented the most precise analysis of the colours of double stars yet recorded. Detailed observations by Smyth and a range of correspondents, together with his famous colour chart, make this a landmark work of amateur astronomy.
