Here are clear explanations of how to make superb astronomical
deep-sky images using only a DSLR or webcam and an astronomical
telescope - no expensive dedicated CCD cameras needed! The book is
written for amateur astronomers interested in budget
astrophotography - the deep sky, not just the Moon and planets -
and for those who want to improve their imaging skills using DSLR
and webcams. It is even possible to use existing (non-specialist
astronomical) equipment for scientific applications such as high
resolution planetary and lunar photography, astrometry, photometry,
and spectroscopy. The introduction of the CCD revolutionized
astrophotography. The availability of this technology to the
amateur astronomy community has allowed advanced science and
imaging techniques to become available to almost anyone willing to
take the time to learn a few, simple techniques. Specialized
cooled-chip CCD imagers are capable of superb results in the right
hands - but they are all very expensive. If budget is important,
the reader is advised on using a standard camera instead. Jensen
provides techniques useful in acquiring beautiful high-quality
images and high level scientific data in one accessible and
easy-to-read book. It introduces techniques that will allow the
reader to use more economical DSLR cameras - that are of course
also used for day-to-day photography - to produce images and data
of high quality, without a large cash investment.
