Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the author's efforts to determine the aberration constant using meridian circle observations of the star Polaris. Meridian circles were used by astronomers in the past to measure precise zenith distances of stars, and the author encountered several challenges in using this instrument, including accounting for the division errors, exure, and refraction. The author provides a wealth of observational data and discusses the methods used to reduce and analyze it. This book will be of interest to historians of astronomy and to anyone interested in the history of astronomical instrumentation and observing techniques. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by astronomers in the past and the methods they used to overcome them.
