The book is fantastic and EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Sincere thanks to all who contributed. The images are spectacular. They are really clear and show precisely the kind of thing I need such as examples of under/over processing, under/over stacking, wing shift and comparisons of features in different wavelengths and magnifications. Really delighted with it!

The book arrived to me yesterday, with order placed 9 working days ago.
I already have its brother, the great text Planetary Astronomy.
For me it's natural to compare them: same impagination, same fonts, similar team and similar approach of the chapters.

So, if you have Planetary Astronomy, you will notice that Solar Astronomy seems almost doubled in number of weight, arguments.
And it analyzes very narrow aspects of every single argument.

The images are outstanding, but they are only a part of the entire work that preview itself as the last updated source about many aspect of study of the Sun.

It is hard to read, but I can't wait to.

I’m glad to hear the positive comments from the guys who have received the English version. I would feel comfortable offering a full refund to anybody who feels that the content doesn’t live up to the reviews.
The blood sweat and tears that went into the translation seem to be well rewarded.
Enjoy!!!

Thanks a lot for Christian and all colleges who took part in the compilation of this book! :bow

I've had the book for a week or so now and I'm working my way through it. It's a stunning book and puts all other solar books I've seen or got into oblivion. It is absolutely stuffed with detailed information and wonderful images. I realise I still have a lot to learn and try out with my set up. I agree with Rusted's view above.
A big thanks to Christian and his fellow contributors for creating this book, it's truly excellent and it is worth every penny and more.
Regards to all
Gordon

Hi,

The Book might be good but the after Sales Service of AXILONE seems not to be that good.

I ordered the book on September 1st and paid via Paypal, my credit card was promptly charged , and shipping to an address in Germany as I had some communication with Jean-Phillippe C.... about the shipping method and I came up with the conclusion that shipping directly to Mexico via parcel post is a risk. I am still waiting for a parcel from Roumania send 2 years ago with TRACKING number ...

OK so far so good, but up to now after sending an e-mail 6 days later and 9 days later I have no answer ...

According to their info, well, thioe are just promises and promises are ephemeral. At least an answer saying, It was shipped or Sorry we have a lot to do and it will take a bit longer would be a nice saletiquette ... :lol:

Rainer

PS I was a salesman for more then 45 years and know what after sales service means and offers ... either a happy customer or a never returning customer ...

Rant over ... :evil:

Hi All,

Has anyone managed to read it cover to cover ? A review or opinion would be much appreciated, many thanks.
Would any of this solar astronomy be out of date by the time I will have read it ??

Fantastic book, but I would like to take a look. Is it available in a library, e.g. British Library as my house is full of books already !

Hi Magnus,

As you have read in the message before my book copy is in Germany and now I am waiting to get it to Mexico.

¿ Out of date ? Knowing the Sun a tiny bit , any book, written even tomorrow, is already out of date because the Sun gives us a daily surprise and will do it for the next 4.5 billion years.

On the other hand, no I am not a lawyer, the worlds knowledge about the Sun as of today has increased exponentially since the first scientists started to study the Sun and so I would say any book about the Sun is a good read. I do own some others and every book has something new in it.

Honestly Euro € 69.00 will not break any Sun lover's bank. It did not break mine even I am living on a retiree income from Germany which is not much and I still have to pay on it 20% income Tax :shock: There are much more expensive books and they are worse. Looking at the few pages depicted on the website IMHO is already worth buying it and even if one just takes a look at the pretty images ... unfortunately none of my images did make it into the book :( :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also your Grandchildren will enjoy it. Look at it from that point of view.

And no, I am not being paid by AXILONE for this shameless plug in :lol: :lol: :lol:

regards Rainer

Hi,

I've just received my copy, very well packaged. The post just delayed 1.5 weeks (to Mexico). I already bought and read the Planetary Astrophotography book from the same company, so I ordered with confidence. The paper is first class as the quality of the printing work.

Can't wait to read my new book. :bow

Like the planetary counterpart, lots of information, photos and whatnot.
Quite heavy on details, not to read in one sitting.

Note after a few months: I've been reading this book quite a bit. From cover to cover once and some parts several times. This book is just so good. Pure reference material. I'm happy that I bought this (and the planetary version, too).

And I am glad that if I feel like teasing my physics Ph D background, there is enough additional material to keep me entertained :)

Hello, Christian
I read your book and wrote it very well. I want to introduce this book into China and translate it into Chinese. Are you interested? I consulted the chief editor of the publishing house. He is also very interested in this book. Can we discuss it further?

I got the book a month or so ago and started reading it last week. I've gotten to about page 50 (of just under 500) and I'm very impressed. I'm brand new to the hobby and I can see that not only are there answers to questions I've already had, but questions I never even thought of and more questions that I might never even get around to asking because they're far beyond what I will need for my level of commitment to my new hobby.

I expect I will never go so far as to build my own radio solar telescope, but I love that I could do it with this book if I wanted to.
