In Astrophotography from Rocky Nook, author and world-renowned astrophotographer Thierry Legault teaches the art and techniques of astrophotography. In the most thorough treatment of the topic available, this book covers everything from night-scene imaging of constellations, star trails, eclipses, artificial satellites, and polar auroras, to more complicated astrophotography requiring specialized equipment for lunar, planetary, solar, and deep-sky imaging. Additionally, Legault shares advice on equipment and guides you through techniques to capture and process your images to achieve spectacular results. Today’s photographic equipment allows amateurs to take pictures of the stars that far surpass images taken just a few decades ago by even the largest observatories, and this book will show you how.

Example Lessons
