"A Plan for Securing Observations of the Variable Stars" by Edward C. Pickering is a guide from long ago that explains how people, even those who aren't professional scientists, can help study stars that change brightness. Encouraging everyday people and women to get involved, this book sorts these stars into groups and teaches how to watch and record their changes properly, pushing for everyone to work together and share their discoveries. Ultimately, the overall goal is to improve our understanding of the sky by getting more eyes on these fascinating celestial objects and teaching new observers how to accurately record their observations.
