Nightscenes: Guide to Simple Astrophotography

by Paul L. Money

Many astrophotography books have a single chapter on what can be done with just a camera on a tripod when aimed at the stars. There is though a huge range of subjects that can actually be tackled without requiring a telescope and complicated tracking mounts.
Nightscenes: Guide to Simple Astrophotography aims to bridge the gap and show that you can take photo's of constellations, aurora, planetary motions, the phases of the moon and much more in an easy to understand guide.
