Astronomical photometry is the science of measuring the brightness and colour of stars and other celestial objects. It is a technique at the very heart of modern astrophysics. This authoritative volume traces the fascinating historical development of astronomical photometry--from visual techniques at the time of William Herschel in the 1780's, through to the birth of photometry with charge-coupled devices in the 1980's.
