CCD Astrophotography: High-Quality Imaging from the Suburbs (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series) 2006th Edition, Kindle Edition

Book was in condition described by the seller, as well as delivered promptly at a great price. Thank you. This seller is one to trust, going forward.

I could hardly wait for this book because I live next to a more than 2 million-city (Budapest) in Hungary and half of the night sky is terrible from my backyard; so the main reason behind my ordering this book was its subtitle.But the truth is that only the very first section (seven pages incl. pictures and PC screenshots) of this book deals with this problem and that is just a kind of approach from bird's eye view; the rest of the text is a "normal" and elementary level astro-photo book. (And I have much better astro photography and image processing sources as Wodarski or Berry&Burnell...)At the same time, there are too many pictures (roughly 1/3 of the book!!!) as sample image collection. Some of them are really very nice shots and some others are poor but without any explanations regarding the features of their capture and/or image processing.So this book is not bad at all but I can recommend it for beginners only as another overview about new technology of astro-photography and there is nothing special in it.

Not bad really. This book is not AT ALL intended for the routine person who is interested in astronomy, and wishes to use his digital SLR camera in combination with his telescope to do astrophotography.I find the title to be a bit unclear. This book would be useful for someone who is interested in doing CCD astrophotography, but not to the more common use of a digital camera to do astrophotography.This is not a bad book, but it certainly is not the correct book for someone with an upscale SLR digital camera who also owns a telescope who wishes to combine the two hobbies.NOTE: At the request of the author I have modified my previous comments to make them clearer.

The book seems to be quite informitive-it will take a while to studt it all.

Reading this book provided me with the basic information on controlling light pollution. However, this book 2006. Which means there is new information since then and to go up to the next level of CCD photography, one would need latest data.

This book gave me the additional information to improve my ccd imaging from my driveway. There are some great details that will help my imaging.

What a disappointment... this book was not useful to me for any purpose other than to read about the equipment & software used by the author. It's nothing more than a chronology and documentary on the equipment HE owns and uses, but there is absolutely no information on HOW to use it. I was expecting and/or hoping for "reference" type information, but the book is essentially useless for this purpose. The author will tell you everything you want to know about HIS equipment and setup (in a manner that goes over the head of nearly all beginners) but does absolutely nothing to educate you on how to effectively take "high quality astrophotography from the suburbs". Even worse, half of the book contains nothing more than photos that he took, but there is no information on technique. If you want a "guided tour" of the author's setup, then you'll love the book, but if you want to know anything at all about how to use it, or even better... how to use your own or other equipment, absolutely positively 100% stay away from this book. I think the book is a scam-- to get you to buy and use equipment owned by the author. I wonder if the different equipment manufacturers and vendors pay the guy to name-drop and "advertise" in his book. What a disappointment.

Not as much technical CCD imaging information as I was expecting. The rest of the content is covered by books I already own.

Great product & price. As expected from Amazon!
