Hi Rohan, another great astrophotography book I would definitely recommend is "Wide Field Astrophotography" by Robert Reeves. As the title suggests, this lets you into the foray of wide field shots, so you don't necessarily need a telescope to start out with. It tells you all about what you need to get started in asotrphotography with just a simple SLR camera and a tripod. It also goes into piggyback photography and then into the more advanced deep sky stuff. There is a wealth of info about films, apertue and exposure settings etc, all which would apply to digital photography as well (the techniques are the same, just that digital requires a slightly different setup than film cameras). It has similar concepts as Astrophotography for the Amateur (which I also have and is also a great book) but it is still a wonderful book to learn from.
