This book is a small but information packed introduction to the revolution in digital astro-photography. The book contains chapters on digital compact cameras, webcams, digital single lens reflex cameras, and astronomical CCD cameras. Each chapter contains copious illustrations, photos, and computer screen shots illustrating each topic. Although many other books are available on this topic, most of them are longer, more involved, and more expensive. If you want a quick, simple, and inexpensive introduction to the topic, this is the book for you. The author takes you on a step-by-step and well illustrated trip through each type of astrophotography. You can get up-and-running quickly. He also introduces and explains the software needed to adjust the images you obtain. In short, it’s an excellent introduction to astrophotography. |
