With the market saturation of digital SLR cameras, amateur astrophotography enthusiasts can achieve what two decades ago would only be possible in a professional observatory setting.
In Digital Astrophotography: A Guide to Capturing the Cosmos, author Stefan Seip explains in detail how to use your SLR camera for the best possible results, with details on the analog elements of the process as well as the digital tricks of the trade (such as image stacking and color corrections).
This book's a very practical guide, from the viewpoint of a DSLR owner, for anyone wishing to get into taking astronomic images with their camera.
- Author and Stuttgart, Germany resident Stefan Seip's an expert astrophotographer (see www.astromeeting.de.), general science writer, and IT consultant
- Discusses optimizing DSLR camera settings, shooting RAW format, "tightening" images with calibration frames, combining short exposures of faint objects into a single exposure, correcting brightness and contrast and color, adjusting for vignetting or variable field illumination, processing your DSLR images, and using webcams or point and shoot cameras
