Astrophotography for the Amateur
Michael Covington, 2nd edition, 2004, paperback (346 pages)
1. Welcome to astrophotography
2. Photographing stars without a telescope
3. Comets, meteors, aurorae, and space dust
4. The moon
5. Eclipses
6. Coupling cameras to telescopes
7. The solar system
8. Deep-sky photography
9. Cameras, lenses, and telescopes
10. Film; 11. Developing, printing, and photographic enhancement
12. Computer image enhancement
13. CCD imaging; Appendices
Handbook of CCD Astronomy
Steve Howell, 2nd edition, 2006, paperback (222 pages)
1. Introduction
2. CCD manufacturing and operation
3. Characterisation of CCDs
4. CCD imaging
5. Photometry and astronomy
6. Spectroscopy with CCDs
7. CCDs used in space and at short wavelengths
These are mandatory texts in the Swinburne University Master of Science (Astronomy) degree program and are in new condition, being under 3 months old. As a beginner in astrophotography I gleaned a great deal from both books, but now need to scrape some funds together (saving towards for a larger format CCD camera).
$45 each including postage within Aust (or $80 posted for both together).
Please send a PM if interested.
Cheers,
Jeff
