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
