The Sun in Eclipse  by group of authors..This book contains all the information you could possibly need to know about observing an eclipse of the Sun, Earth's nearest star. Michael Maunder is a photographer and experienced eclipse observer, and has teamed up with Patrick Moore to write what is probably the most comprehensive guide for amateur observers.
