Klappentext zu „Solar Sketching “
From the authors of Sketching the Moon comes a comprehensive guide filled with richly illustrated, detailed drawing tutorials that cover a variety of solar phenomena. Explanations of what to expect visually from white light, Hydrogen-alpha and Calcium K filters are provided for those new to solar observing, along with essential tips on equipment, observing techniques and the practicalities of drawing at the eyepiece. Time-honored, traditional methods and media are described in tandem with innovative techniques developed and shared by contemporary astronomical sketchers. For the technically minded, detailed descriptions are given on how to use image manipulation software to bring your sketches to life through animation.The Sun is the most visually dynamic object in our solar system and offers compelling, spectacular views. Knotted magnetic field lines give rise to powerful eruptions and form the intricate sunspots and arching prominences that make our nearest star one of the most exciting, yet challenging, astronomical objects to sketch. Facilitated by the availability of affordable dedicated solar telescopes and filters, the Sun has become an increasingly popular target amongst astronomical sketchers. The use of narrowband solar filters provides a wonderful opportunity to capture views of the Sun that have, until recently, been largely inaccessible.
You'll discover easy to follow, step-by-step instructions geared toward your specific interests, be it technical sketching and contributing to science, personal study, or even fun solar outreach activities that help children learn through art. By using Solar Sketching as a reference, drawing the Sun has never been easier.

Autoren-Porträt von Erika Rix, Kim Hay, Sally Russell, Richard Handy
Erika Rix was the Solar Sketching Workshop/Presenter at Northeast Astronomy Forum & Telescope Show (NEAF) in 2010, and has given other sketching presentations and workshops for local astronomy clubs. She is also a quarterly columnist for "Drawn to the Universe" in the British magazine Astronomy Now. Erika volunteered her time as moderator for Cloudy Nights Telescope Review, particularly the sketching and solar forums, where she was awarded the accolade of "Star Contributor." She was an administrator and freelance astronomical writer/observer for Scientific Frontline and assistant editor and writer for Solar Observer. Her astronomical sketches and articles have been published widely on astronomy sites (including Space weather, LOPD, ASOD, ALPO), astronomy newsletters, magazines and books. She is a member of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO).Kim Hay is currently the Solar Statistician for the AAVSO and Solar Section Coordinator for the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO). She is the author of the Solar Observing section in the RASC Observer's Handbook. She was part of the Canadian International Year of Astronomy 2009 team that helped with promotion and public outreach. She has sketched the sun for over 15 years to observer its activity. Kim is member of the Association of the Lunar and Planetary Observers.
Sally Russell has given numerous presentations and workshops on astronomical sketching to local astronomy societies. Her astronomical sketches have been published online, principally at Cloudy Night Telescope Reviews, LPOD, ASOD, the National Maritime Museum, and in various BAA and SPA section online journals and newsletters, as well as in various UK astronomical magazines. Sally is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS), a Member of the British Astronomical Association (BAA_, and of the Society for Popular Astronomy (SPA).
Richard Handy is webmaster for Astronomy Sketch of the Day, a non-profit website.

His lunar sketch work has been widely published on the Internet, particularly at Cloudy Nights Telescope Reviews, where he is proud to be a "Star Contributor." Several of Rich's sketches and narratives were selected for Lunar Photo of the Day (Charles Wood's LPOD website). Richard is a member of the San Diego Astronomical Society, and a Member of the Association of Lunar Planetary Observers (ALPO).
Erika, Sally and Richard had their sketches selected for display at the International Year of Astronomy 2009 Astronomical Art Exhibit held in Birr Castle in Ireland.

Pressezitat
"This book is all about sketching the Sun, and it is marvelous. ... you get a better idea of what to look for, different methods that could be used for observing the Sun and even some activities that would be fun to do with children. ... All the different mediums used are explained in a step-by-step tutorial style, that are very easy to follow and there are hundreds of examples of sketches of the Sun." (AstroMadness.com, April, 2016)
