Review: Not an advanced reference - great for beginning to intermediate DSLR astrophotography. Practical with technical explanations. - I notice the other reviews, but I think the negative ones expect too much. This is not a detailed reference work for the advanced imager but a beginning book that will get you for 0-90 mph right away. I have done planetary and solar webcam imaging and beginning astrophotgraphy with Canon DSLR (Milky Way, Aurora) and been confused by the amount of information avaialble. Michael has presented a concise "how-to" that incorporates all of the specific actions required for DSLR and the underlying tehcnical reasons for them. He also includes some asides that are important, but you will not find in purely technical reports. I was able to scan it in about an hour and it corroborated and enhanced what I had learned on my own. This book would have saved me time and anxiety and I would have had better early results if I had read it first. Again - not a reference for advanced imager, but a solid how-to for beginning to intermediate DSLR astrophotography. Highly recommended for style and content.
Review: Good book however - Like another reviewer, I found that this was a well written book however, I agree that a little too much was referenced in another book for its price. I am happy to look up the many websites which are referenced...I expect that these days. It is probably time for a new integrated book that has it all. The cameras discussed were a bit old now Nikon D70 etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astrophoto basics plus
*by B***S on January 15, 2009*

Mr Covington is an amayeur astronomer who has taken some wonderful astrophotos and is well qualified to explain the hows of this art. He has written a straight forward, easy to understand book that makes the subject to digital photography easy for the average person. I found his explanations understandable, making sense to even my "photo challenged" mind. Excellent book!
