This ground- and space-based astronomy book focuses on an observational system’s inherent limitations which determine the results that the system may achieve, rather than presenting particular systems in detail. This second edition has been entirely restructured and almost doubled in size, in order to improve clarity and to account for the great progress achieved in the field over the last 15 years.
