Not worth reading Floyd W Don't waste your money or time on this. Only talks in concepts, no details. I was hoping for more detailed "how to" instructions, not here. Talks about different items of equipment but gives no names or details on use. Wasted read!. great great book. Deb said Five Stars. This was a gift for my husband. He loves it.

This improved technology has made astrophotography possible for everyone; however CCD cameras have features exclusive to astronomy and so there is a learning curve. Fully illustrated and clearly presented, Astrophotography: The Essential Guide to Photographing the Night Sky puts great astronomical images within the reach of even the most novice stargazer.. Solar System photography: Smartphones, webcams, using free RegiStax software, infrared blocking filters. Getting images without a telescope: The "300" rule, ISO speed noise reduction, exposure times, star trails, constellations, Space Station and satellite photography, meteor showers, auroras, noctilucent clouds, combined exposures, "live view", the Sun, eclipses. Mark Thompson, known as "the people's astronomer" in the UK, guides readers through the entire process, beginning with buying equipment and ending with processing images on a home computer using free software. Astrophotography: The Essential Guide to Photographing the Night Sky features practical guidance from an astrophotographer with years of experience
