Book(s) on Solar Astronomy

Recommended Posts

I've not delved into practical solar astronomy at all, but have looked, naked eye, at an eclipse through a filter. I now have a Baader film type solar filter to fit my scope and wondered whether anyone could suggest a useful book on the lines of a practical how to guide  on solar astronomy. I have various books that discuss it amongst other aspects of astronomy, but nothing specific.

I have this book, its very informative. Lots of info on the sun and observing of it. How it rotates, where the features appear from and where. Also find your bearings when looking through the eyepiece, not as straight forward as you might think.

Thanks for those,  the Springer book looks like what I am after. Springer production quality is to my mind  a bit below par (and I have a few) compared to some, but the content is usually good.

I have two springer publications "Lessons from the masters" which fell apart within weeks, but Observing the sun is fine after a couple of years.
