How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with Your Digital Camera - Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series
By Tony Buick
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 274
Publication Date: 2006-02-16
Since the advent of astronomical CCD imaging it has been possible for amateurs to produce images of a quality that was attainable only by universities and professional observatories just a decade ago. However, astronomical CCD cameras are still very expensive, and technology has now progressed so that digital cameras the kind you use on holiday are more than capable of photographing the brighter astronomical objects, notably the Moon and major planets.
Tony Buick has worked for two years on the techniques involved, and has written this illustrated step-by-step manual for anyone who has a telescope (of any size) and adigital camera. The color images he has produced there are over 300 of them in the book are of breathtaking quality.
His book is more than a manual of techniques (including details of how to make a low-cost DIY camera mount) and examples; it also provides a concise photographic atlas of the whole of the nearside of the Moon with every image made using a standarddigital camera and describes the various lunar features, including the sites of manned and robotic landings.

Lunar and Planetary Webcam User’s Guide (Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series)
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 224
Publication Date: 2006-05-18
Manufacturer: Springer
In the last few years, cheap webcams have revolutionized amateur astronomy by providing a very inexpensive alternative to purpose-made astronomical CCD cameras, which use refrigerated imaging chips and are thus extremely expensive. Webcams are capable of more advanced work than ‘normal’ digital cameras because their simple construction makes it easy to remove the webcam’s lens, allowing it to be interfaced directly to a telescope. Using a webcam is not difficult but most amateur astronomers who have tried to do this do not achieve the finest results, despite the webcam’s potential. There are numerous imaging and image processing tricks and techniques, and all of them are needed to get the best results.
Along with webcam technology has come simple-to-use image processing and enhancement using a PC: the most powerful technique is, ’stacking’ in which the best images (out of hundreds) are selected and summed automatically to provide startlingly good results.
“Lunar and Planetary Webcam User’s Guide” de-mystifies the jargon of webcams and computer processing, and provides detailed hints and tips for imaging the Sun, Moon and planets with a webcam. He looks at each observing target separately, describing and explaining all specialised techniques in context.
Glance through the images in this book to see just how much you can – easily – achieve by using a webcam with your telescope!

Creating and Enhancing Digital Astro Images (Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series)
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 142
Publication Date: 2007-03-19
Manufacturer: Springer
Studio: Springer
The book will, in jargon-free blow-by-blow terms, describe how to create the best astronomical images you can with the digital camera equipment at your disposal. It will explain the steps we go through to extract results from the raw-and-dirty original imagery, and then transform them into high quality pictures that you could hang on your wall.
The advent of CCDs, and more recently inexpensive webcams, has led to a much greater proportion of amateur astronomers becoming involved in digital imaging. The low price of the new Meade Deep Sky Imager – $299 (2005) – suggests that within a few years a simpledigital camera will become a standard accessory for any telescope.
There are as yet few books available on this aspect of amateur astronomy. This situation is likely to change in the next few years and there are going to be lots of people out there asking questions like “Flat field? What does that mean?”, and trying to work out how to get the best out of their webcam, CCD or Digital SLR. They will also be wondering what is the best software to use.
To summarise; this is a book that tells practical astronomers (and that includes some but not all professionals) what is needed to get from standing in the dark with a telescope and a camera, to showing your spouse, local society friends or even supervisor the astonishing images that can be obtained with simple equipment but the rightsoftware and knowledge of how to use it.

Introduction To Digital Astrophotography
Robert Reeves, Richard Berry, James Burnell
Willmann-Bell | 434 pages | PDF | 17,3 MB
If you are thinking of trying astrophotography, this is an excellent place to start. Reeves covers the basics of using inexpensive webcams to produce great images with modest telescopes and the basics of using digital cameras (both DSLR and fixed lens) with or without a telescope. If you follow the webcam instructions you will be amazed at the results. Reeves covers all the basics and covers them very well indeed.

Digital SLR Astrophotography
Cambridge University Press | 234 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB
In the last few years, digital SLR cameras have taken the astrophotography world by storm. It is now easier to photograph the stars than ever before! They are compact and portable, flexible to adapt with different lenses and for telescope use, and above all DSLR cameras are easy and enjoyable to use.
In this concise guide, experienced astrophotography expert Michael Covington outlines the simple, enduring basics that will enable you to get started, and help you get the most from your equipment.
He covers a wide selection of equipment, simple and advanced projects, technical considerations and image processing techniques. Unlike other astrophotography books, this one focuses specifically on DSLR cameras, not astronomical CCDs, non-DSLR digital cameras, or film.
This guide is ideal for astrophotographers who wish to develop their skills using DSLR cameras and as a friendly introduction to amateur astronomers or photographers curious about photographing the night sky.

CCD Astrophotography: High-Quality Imaging from the Suburbs
Publisher: Springer | edition 2006 | PDF | 196 pages | 10,1 mb
Not all amateur astronomers who live in a suburban location realize just how very effective a ‘chilled-chip’ astronomical CCD-camera and software can be at cutting through seemingly impenetrable light-pollution.
CCD Astrophotography from the Suburbs details one man’s approach to the problem of getting high-quality astronomical images under light-polluted conditions. Adam Stuart has written this reference book for all amateur astronomers who are interested in CCD imaging, especially those who have to work under suburban conditions.
The book outlines the materials and (commercially-available) equipment used for high-quality imaging.
