The best book for scientific astrophotography; IMO!By Ember of the Great River PeopleThis is an amazing book!Unlike similar books (I have read many of this type) this book comes with the math needed to perform analysis of astrophotos. It covers everything from basic astrophotos with a simple camera and telescope; all of the way to large and professional scopes.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great book for getting into hands on Astronomy and then more advanced projectsBy russgarrettI have been in astronomy for years and have an observatory I have done research in. This is a great book for someone wanting to learn how to get started in hands on astronomy and move on to more advanced projects.Even though I have been doing this for years I always learn something new or an easier way of doing things.I only have a high school diploma and the author communicates in a way that makes it easy to comprehend.I wish this book had been around years ago when i was starting out.This is a great companion book to Bruce Garys "Exoplanet Observing for Amateurs" .2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
