Product Description
Review
"This is not a guide to deep sky imaging in general, but more a journey of one man s embarkation into this exciting topic. ... What I found most impressive was that the topics are kept simple and to the point. ... I believe this book has a wealth of information for anybody who wishes to pursue astrophotography as a hobby ... . Would I recommend it? Well the simple answer is yes, there is a lot of inspiration to be gained and put into practice." --Ed Sampson, Astronomy Now, June, 2008
"Parker s book is comprised of fourteen chapters spanning 155 pages and two appendices which make up a further six pages. ... provides a list of 14 books which give a broad perspective on astronomy and can open doors to the newcomer with general information on astronomy as well as potential targets. ... the book provides a good introduction to astrophotography that would be ideally suited to someone contemplating this addictive aspect of amateur astronomy." --Anthony Ayiomamitis, The Observatory, Vol. 128 (1205), August, 2008

Product Description
This book is based around the author’s beautiful and sometimes awe-inspiring color images and mosaics of deep-sky objects. The images were used as the basis of a public exhibition held at the University of Southampton (Summer 2006), attended by the press, local radio and TV interviewers as well as the public. The book describes how similar images can be created by amateur astronomers, using commercially available telescopes and CCD cameras. Subsequent processing and image enhancement in the “electronic darkroom” is covered in detail as well. Not everybody can afford the biggest and best telescopes and CCD cameras, so a range of telescopes and equipment is considered, from the author’s 11-inch with Hyperstar camera, down to more affordable instruments. Appendices provide links to free software – not available from a single source – and are themselves an invaluable resource.
