"Great Survey Book for the Advanced Astrophotographer" according to E P. This is a very good book which I would characterize as a survey aimed at the advanced level. In a nutshell, it is an Astrophotography book for those who already are accomplished astrophotographers! The author is well versed in advanced topics such as plate solving, remote control of the telescope, PixInsight post processing software, and the modeling characteristics of high end mounts such as Software Bisque’s Paramount and 10Micron’s GM1000 HPS.The content of the book is augmented by useful tables and charts. Early on there is an Astronomy Primer, and the nice aspect of it is. A great book for the beginner and the advanced imager alike! Highly recommended! Scott I'm very impressed with this book. I've read about a third of it so far. It is pleasant to read and is easily understood, goes into enough depth that I find it useful even after 2 years of astrophotography.. Frank K. said Great Resource for Your Astroimaging Library. Gives a great look at the overall process and points out the pitfalls. It provides some great resolutions to problems you wouldn't think are problems but are. Defines some of the terminology usually gained thru tribal knowledge. Written by an engineer in plain language that is easy to understand. This is a great addition to you PixInsight library.
