I do not recommend it for those just starting out in astrophotography - there are other getting started books and guides out there - but for those who have invested the time and effort in AP and are moving up the learning curve; this book is an excellent resource.The book is divided into chapters written by some of the top names in astrophotography - Tony Hallas; Robert Gendler; Ken Crawford; Jay GaBany; Babek Tafreshi and many others. The chapters concentrate on a single process or workflow; many of which inlcude step-by-step instructions for incorporating these techniques into your workflow. There are three chapters that outline an overall deepsky workflow that I found very helpful. Hallas short chapter on noise reduction and his technique used to remove green pixels from the background was by itself worth the price of the book. Ken Crawford on HDR and PS mask refinement; Tafreshis chapter on incorporating earth and sky; sections on wide field processing; color enhancement; the list goes on...If there was one disappointment with the book; i would say it was Damian Peach on planetary / lunar photography. I was really looking forward to the chapter to improve my processing skills on these challenging objects; using my video camera and Registax. I found the chapter to be useless and very basic. It did not contain any tips or step by step techniques like the other chapters that i found to be so useful - it really didnt tell me anything I didnt already glean from the web and the astronomy forums.But this is one minor complaint in an otherwise impressive guide for the midlevel astrophotographer. You will not be disappointed!7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A good survey of imaging concepts and practicesBy FredWill this book make you a world famous imager? No. Will it improve the quality of your images? Yes.This is a thick book; not a simple cookbook howto guide. It opens with theory and each chapter covers a different aspect of astrophotography image processing. So whether you image deep space; planets or our own sun; there is something inside for you. Much of what is included can be found in other places; but this book brings it all together in one place. Most of the authors emphasize photoshop; but other image processing packages are discussed. If you use something else; at least the concepts will be helpful.Why only four stars? Because ... *shrugs*As a survey of all aspects of Astronomical imaging; it cant go deep into all areas. Likewise; the title refers to "Current Concepts" ... Some parts of imaging will change slowly; but others are changing rapidly. Will this book become dated? Yes. Is it dated now? No. Is it worth the money? Yes. Did I learn from the authors? Yes!8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Great having all of the information in one placeBy MicroAstroIm a moderately-skilled deep-sky imager and a novice solar and planetary imager; and perhaps that explains my different impression of this book compared to a previous review. There is a lot here for the deep-sky imager; from theory to a wide range of processing techniques and workflows with different software packages; to two excellent chapters by Robert Gendler on "Aesthetics and Composition" (rarely discussed) and on "Hybrid Images" - there is perhaps less for the planetary and solar imager; but at my skill level the blend is perfect. Sure; much of the information is available in online tutorials by Ken Crawford and DVDs by Adam Block and Tony Hallas; but one thing I really like about this book is having it all in one place (in my case the Kindle version on my iPad). I also like the three chapters on Deep Sky Imaging workflow from three different astrophotographers as each offers a unique perspective. There is much here to digest and I can see that I will be perusing this book over and over to pick up tips to improve my deep sky images. Definitely a keeper for me.
