This well-established textbook gives a general but comprehensive introduction to positional astronomy. The author considers the night sky as the celestial sphere and powerfully exploits the methods of spherical geometry.

Spherical astronomy or positional astronomy is the branch of astronomy that is used to determine the location of objects on the celestial sphere, as seen at a particular date, time, and location on Earth. It relies on the mathematical methods of spherical geometry and the measurements of astrometry. This is the oldest branch of astronomy and dates back to antiquity

Was given some astronomical projects in work and being a novice I starting googling everything , did not help to much, then bought a few books, nothing really helped to resolve the issues I was coming across as far as calculations not working the way they were supposed to. This book is the absolute best I came across and helped me get things working. Its complex enough to resolve issues but written very well and understandable . Its my goto book now for any astronomical calculations

If you do any work in astrodynamics you'll see this book come up and over and over again. It is overall of good quality for the time it was written and the information inside is still relevant today.

I was new to Spherical Astronomy and I wanted a good textbook like book that would cover all the basics and move on to a few complex examples. I was pleasantly surprised with Smart's excellent book. It has good diagrams and excellent explanations. It is written with little jargon and it is precise and accurate enough for a good college primer. The cover is not the same as the picture on Amazon. It has been updated somewhat since Smart wrote the book, but it isn't the latest book, and does not cover more complex spherical questions. All in all it is a great introduction to the field, and I couldn't think of a better book on the subject.

Very nice. Takes you back to the "Romper Room" or Kindergarten of astronomy. Book allows you plenty of "breathing room" in mastering the building blocks of today's more complicated concepts by thoroughly explaining material. Nothing is left to "guess work." This book should be a "tool" in everyone's "toolbox."

Great book. It has clear descriptions of atmospheric refraction and precession. The drawings of great circles on the sphere are adequate.

just started reading. Content is like promissed.

I picked this book up from a nearby retailer. My goodness, you certainly have to enjoy math on an advanced level to comprehend this material. Textbook on Spherical Astronomy is definitely composed for the serious-minded student-astronomer to a professional. The book is full of various calculations including eclipses and moon phases. This is not the type of book that you sit down to read, but more like a study guide and learning tool for astronomy mathematics.

If you are interested in any subject of position astronomy (motion of the moon, stellar navigation, astrometry, etc.) you must stat by reading this book. Eventhough it is basically a reviewed old text, it is still the most concise and complete reference on the area.
It contains from the basic formulas of spherical trigonometry to the full explanation of the conditions necesary to observe a solar eclipse, or principles of star parallax measurement, for example.
I think this book is useful not only for amateur and pro astronomers, but also for undergraduate mathemathicians and physicists, and even for highschoolers.
