Making Beautiful Deep-sky Imagesby Greg Parker
Springer 2007; US$ 34.95This book is based around the author??'s beautiful and sometimes awe-inspiring color images and mosaics of deep-sky objects. The images were used as the basis of a public exhibition held at the University of Southampton (Summer 2006), attended by the press, local radio and TV interviewers as well as the public. The book describes how similar images can be created by amateur astronomers, using commercially available telescopes and CCD cameras. Subsequent processing and image enhancement in the ???electronic darkroom??? is covered in detail as well. Not everybody can afford the biggest and best telescopes and CCD cameras, so a range of telescopes and equipment is considered, from the author??'s 11-inch with Hyperstar camera, down to more... more...
Imaging planetario:: Guida all'uso della webcam (Le Stelle) (Italian Edition)by Martin Mobberley; A. Carbognani
Springer 2008; US$ 39.95Le economiche webcam stanno rivoluzionando l?imaging astronomico amatoriale, fornendo un?alternativa conveniente ai CCD raffreddati, quanto meno per i soggetti più luminosi. Le webcam, che costano solo poche decine di euro, sono in grado di realizzare riprese di più alta risoluzione rispetto alle macchine fotografiche digitali grazie alla maggiore velocità di scaricamento dell?immagine che "congela" i dettagli planetari, nonostante il disturbo della turbolenta atmosfera terrestre. La loro struttura è piuttosto semplice, ed è facile rimuovere la lente frontale per utilizzarle in proiezione dell?oculare con un telescopio astronomico. Le webcam si collegano direttamente a un PC, in modo tale che si può utilizzare un apposito software per sommare... more...

How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with Your Digital Cameraby Tony Buick; Philip Pugh
Springer 2011; US$ 39.95Although astronomical CCD cameras can be very costly, digital cameras -- the kind you use on holiday -- on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive. Moreover, their technology -- especially thermal noise, sensitivity (ISO number) and resolution -- has progressed to a point where such cameras are more than capable of photographing the brighter astronomical objects. Now Tony Buick has teamed up with fellow author and astro imager Phil Pugh, to produce a completely revised, updated, and extended second edition to How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with your Digital Camera, first published in 2006. The revisions take into account changing (and improving) camera technology, and some items which are now available commercially but which previously... more...
Heavenly Bodiesby Bert P. Esq. Krages
Amherst Media, Inc. 2003; US$ 23.95Detailing the photographic equipment and astronomical instruments needed to capture celestial images, this guide shows how astrophotography can be accessible to all photographers. Included is a detailed introduction to basic astronomy with information on mapping the sky, locating celestial bodies, and planning an expedition to photograph astronomical phenomena. Photographers learn how to determine the color sensitivity of various films and achieve the best possible exposure, how to ensure a captivating composition, and how commercially processed prints can support their artistic vision. Whether photographers wish to capture deep sky or solar system subjects, the dual focus on photography and astronomy and the helpful sidebars and charts will... more...
