The Beginner's Guide to Astrophotography: How to Capture the Cosmos with Any Camera Paperback – July 11, 2023

Purchased this to learn night photography with my daughters. The original book was damaged in shipping. It was a beautiful book with amazing sample photos. But like another reviewer mentioned the text is a thin and light font on a dark background and for me was difficult to read. Since the book was already damaged we returned it and got the kindle version. It’s been very easy to read and follow. And it looks to have most of the sample photos and diagrams. Which show up well even on an iPhone. So far we’ve been very happy with the books content. And have leaned a lot. Much easier read than some of the other very technical Astrophotography books looked at. Yet very thorough and has answered all my questions so far. We like the book enough we may order another paperback just as a coffee table book and for the full size photos. Thanks again for a great book and for taking the time to make the Kindle version decent too.

This is an excellent book on astrophotography.

By far the most comprehensive book on the subject of Night Sky and Milky Way photography. Covers everything from best time of the year, the constellations, technical settings, camera and personal equipment, supplemental items, and post processing. I would recommend that this be the first book that those wishing to learn and fully understand when, where, and how to photography the night sky and the Milky Way.

I highly recommend this book for astrophotographers using a DSLR or mirrorless camera. It includes appendix with best objects to photograph with recommended parameters and time of year to observe these. I liked the scientific definitions and tricks for best results.

Very helpful and gives you good tips to take pictures of stars and planets. Definitely recommend!

Great book learned alot

Perfect and well explained for beginners

I got this book because I wanted to get a basic understanding of astrophotography. The book provides the information but I'm giving it a 3 because the pages are glossy and the print is faint. This combination makes the book physically difficult to read. If interested, you might consider getting the Kindle version instead of the paperback.
