At first glance, the challenge of astrophotography may appear
daunting. But spectacular results are not only possible, they are easy
to learn with the step-by-step approach of Digital Astrophotography: A
Guide to Capturing the Cosmos. Amateurs today can produce images that
only 20 years ago a large professional observatory would have been
proud of; and this book shows you how.
Learn how to:
- Set up your camera for optimum results
- Focus your camera for razor-sharp images
- Take beautiful night shots with a simple compact digital camera, a tripod, and a telescope
- Use a DSLR camera to shoot the Sun, Moon, stars, and more
- Get brilliant images of planets with a webcam
- Capture remote galaxies with a CCD camera just like a pro
Also learn to:
- Shoot RAW format images and improve them with calibration frames
- Take short exposures of faint deep-sky objects and combine them into a longer exposure
- Perform brightness, contrast, and color correction
- Make corrections for vignetting & uneven field illumination
- Process your images for stunning results
Equipment requirements range from a simple camera and tripod to a
multi-thousand dollar computer controlled telescope equipped with a CCD
auto-guider and separate guide-scope. Seip helps you sort out which
cameras are best for the various celestial objects, what to look for
when buying a camera, and what accessories you really need.
As the author says, "The rewards of this fascinating hobby grants
you unforgettable hours under the night sky ... It is exciting!"
