Product Description
Review
"This colourful book is yet another addition to the forty-strong library of Patrick Moore s Practical Astronomy Series produced by Springer. ... it is a very interesting book and the colour illustrations are excellent and beautifully reproduced. Undoubtedly it will inspire many beginners to find out much more information about astronomical imaging." --Martin Mobberley, Astronomy Now, February, 2006
"This compendium by S&T contributing editor David Ratledge offers a mother lode of practical information for imaging neophytes, but expert sky shooters can pick up a lot of useful tips as well. Its 11 chapters are lavishly illustrated, often in color, and they cover a wide range of techniques ... . Ratledge s ambitious goal of covering the state of art is laudable ... ." --Edwin Aguirre, Sky & Telescope, March, 2008
