Astrophotography: The Essential Guide to Photographing the Night Sky

Perfect gift for hubby. Just started astrophotography.

This was a gift for my husband. He loves it.

Don't waste your money or time on this. Only talks in concepts, no details. I was hoping for more detailed "how to" instructions, not here. Talks about different items of equipment but gives no names or details on use. Wasted read!

I hate to knock someone's hard work, but this was a big let down. Maybe a good rank beginners book, but maybe not. Astrophotography is a hard endeavor. It is not simple and easy. I immediately skimmed through the book and put it down. I doubt that I will pick it back up. When the first few pages show that the author doesn't know the difference between a CCD sensor and a CMOS sensor it sort of takes the steam out. I liked the quote that a CCD sensor is made of many solar cells? Well not really.If you are past holding your iPhone up to the eyepiece, you probably ought to pass on this book.

I am a photographer and wanted to learn about the night sky, so I was given this as a gift. Right off, it seemed to me the author did not understand digital sensors. Not only is the introductory information on sensors wrong, but there is equal time wasted discussing film. Additional wasted time wrongly describing how Nikon sensors intentionally blur the image while Canon sensors do not, thus the use of Nikon cameras is not recommended! I understand the attempted reference to anti-aliasing filters, although misguided by the author, but this information is wrong and, more importantly to me, further waste of my time. Completely lost my confidence in getting value from this book. I skimmed a little more. Unfortunately, not wanting to waste my time starting down the wrong trail, or reading more wrong or useless information, I have sent this book to our local used book store. I hope someone can pull a little value from it.

Excellent livre de référence pour l'astrophotographie. Je suis novice dans le domaine et cela m'a beaucoup aidé

As somebody who is embarking in an astrophotography journey, with no knowledge about telescopes, cameras, and software for processing, Mark has provided a simple yet super informative read. Colour plates are beautiful (nothing more disappointing than an astrophotography book with black and white plates!). Totally recommend this book❤️

An excellent, well written and clearly explained text which makes quite a technical subject very approachable. I have now read a number of publications on this subject and this is about the best one I have read. Very well illustrated with examples and photographs. I thoroughly recommend it.

Fast delivery and good quality ! You Rock !

Excellent
