Rezensionen / Stimmen
"What an excellent book. And not just because it refreshed my mind on all those things you should do to get your CCD photometry right, but because I find I have got them right! ... if you feel you need to improve the standard of your photometry, be it asteroids or variable stars, or indeed anything else, then this book comes highly recommended." (Roger Pickard, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1258), June, 2017)
