Great book for the AstrophotographyBy Carl JorgensenI am an amateur astronomer who wants to try Astrophotography. This book is a great guide to get me started. I have an old SLR film camera; a good camera for astrophotography. This book guides me from using the camera on its own to for astrophotography; to coupling it with a telescope to take astro photographs. It describes the best films to use for the different types of astrophotography; from the moon; planets and deep sky objects. It also gives you experiments to try; to get you started. I am very pleased with the book.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Very good reference book for any astrophotographerBy A CustomerMicheal Covingtons book covers all aspects of astrophotography starting from objects; from camera selection to films; exposure methods; mounts and drives; guiding of the mount guiding accuracy/errors; and of course the CCD imaging. I also gives ideas on how to build a simple barn door mount. It does not end at taking exposures. After an exposure is taken we have to convert it into an acceptable quality print or into a computer file. Images can be greatly improved by digital processing. So it also covers image processing ideas. The only point to be noted is that one must look at his website and download the errata. The book has many printing errors; some of which are trivial though. That; of course; must not deter any user. I consider is my best field guide book on this topic. I believe his recent edition has got over these errors - not mine. I bought mine in 1999.
