The Astrophotography Manual, Second Edition is for photographers
ready to move beyond standard SLR cameras and editing software to
create beautiful images of nebulas, galaxies, clusters, and the
stars. Beginning with a brief astronomy primer, this book takes
readers through the full astrophotography process, from choosing
and using equipment to image capture, calibration, and processing.
This combination of technical background and hands-on approach
brings the science down to earth, with practical methods to ensure
success. This second edition now includes: Over 170 pages of new
content within 22 new chapters, with 600 full-color illustrations.
Covers a wide range of hardware, including mobile devices, remote
control and new technologies. Further insights into leading
software, including automation, Sequence Generator Pro and
PixInsight Ground-breaking practical chapters on hardware and
software as well as alternative astrophotography pursuits
This book provides a thorough introduction to and exploration of
deep sky astrophotography for the digital photographer. With over
280 images, graphs, and tables, this introductory book uses a
progressive and practical style to teach readers how to image the
night sky using existing, affordable equipment. The book opens with
a brief astronomy primer, followed by chapters that build
progressively to explain the challenges, offer solutions, and
provide invaluable information on equipment choice through image
capture, calibration, and processing in affordable software. The
book's focus ranges from how to image sweeping vistas and star
trails using only a camera body, lens and tripod, to more advanced
methods suitable for imaging galaxies, clusters, nebulae, and
stars. Other features of the book include: Real-world assignments
showing how and when to use certain tools and how to overcome
challenges and setbacks Practical construction projects Evaluations
of the most recent developments in affordable hardware and software
Exploration on how sensor performance and light pollution relate to
image quality and exposure planning Ground-breaking practical
chapters on lucky imaging and choosing and using the latest CMOS
cameras Written in an accessible, easy to follow format, this
comprehensive guide equips readers with all the necessary skills to
progress from photographer to astrophotographer.

Photo Techniques Magazine stated: "All our readers need to know
about this very useful book." Indeed, there is no other compendium
that is as in-depth as this for the beauty and magic of fine-art
black-and-white photography. With 560 pages and over 1,000
illustrations, Way Beyond Monochrome starts with conceptual lessons
of composition and takes you through image capture, exposure,
controlling tonality, variable-contrast paper, archival printing,
mounting, framing and presentation with simple concepts to an
advanced level. This new edition has been completely revised and
heavily expanded, adding over 250 pages to the original edition
with new chapters on print mounting, spotting, framing, digital
negatives, utilizing digital technologies for alternative
processes, and fabulous do-it-yourself projects. Overall, the
authors have created a thoroughly researched, technologically sound
yet aesthetically pleasing, inspirational bible for monochrome
photography. New to this edition: almost double the content a new
section discussing the path from visualization to print,
illustrating the interaction between eye and brain, explaining the
rules of composition and when to break them to produce photographs
with impact a new section on presentation including hands-on
mounting, matting, spotting, and framing image capture has a more
in-depth focus, now covering pinhole photography and digital
capture now includes making and printing with digital negatives a
new section discussing the pros and cons of typical image-taking
and image-making equipment plus new do-it-yourself projects,
including many darkroom tools and an electronic shutter tester a
useful collection of templates, to copy, cut-out and take with you
in your camera bag or use in the darkroom an appendix with all the
recipes to make your own darkroom chemicals from scratch all
illustrations improved and updated improved index with 1,400
