Review: Simply Excellent for the New Entrant - I am a novice astrophotographer but have some experience with terrestrial and underwater photography. I have at least one other astroimaging book which, at times, goes into very deep detail. So deep that I find myself losing focus. This book is just right for my level. The language is CLEAR and CONCISE. The amount of depth provided is adequate and helpful but not overbearing. It is written at a level where most amateurs and entrants into the field can understand what is being described. I feel this aspect cannot be overstated. Keeping a readers interest and speaking at their level is the difference between a great book and a book that isn’t as helpful. Very well done. Thank you, you must have put an incredible amount of time into this. I would love to see you write a start to finish book on using Astro Pixel Processor.
Review: Read this first. - If you think you want to do Astrophotography with a DSLR camera then i suggest you read this book first. It won't beat you over the head the technical stuff like post processing or anything else that complicated. What it will do is give you a good idea of how to get started and the equipment needed to have some success in the hobby. It's a very easy read with the information you need to understand what it takes to do long (a few seconds to a few minutes) exposure of the night sky. Astrophotography can be a very expensive hobby if you let it but it can also be done with a reasonable expenditure if you do a reasonable amount of research and this book is a great place to start. I bought this book in February of this year (2019) and i still read portions of it just as a refresher. I highly recommend it. Be sure you get the 2nd edition. Clear skies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understandable & Practical - Discusses Equipment, Options, Pros & Cons
*by S***D on March 15, 2019*

This book is helping me make the leap from 35 mm SLR film astrophotography I did 40 years ago. I've kept my 1978 Celestron-8 telescope in great working order and had its visual back/threads factory-updated to "new" standard a few years ago. Anticipating purchase of a Canon camera with full-frame sensor, the first chapter spells out (as example of many similar considerations) that the smaller APS-C sensors are often a better match to telescope eyepiece tube size. I may still go with full-frame due to interests in occasional wide-field photography too, but the experienced perspective/point on size considerations was really helpful in better understanding options and implications.
