High-performance CCD cameras have opened up an exciting new window
on the Universe for amateur astronomers. This book provides a
complete, self-contained guide to choosing and using CCD cameras.
We start with a no-nonsense introduction to how a CCD camera works
and just what determines its performance. We are then shown how to
use a CCD camera and calibrate accurately the images we obtain. A
clear review is then provided of the software available for
visualising, analysing and processing digital images. Finally, we
are guided through a series of key areas in astronomy where we can
make the best use of our CCD cameras. This handy volume is packed
with practical tips. It provides a clear introduction to CCD
astronomy for novices and an indispensable reference for more
experienced amateur astronomers.
