[leinad (Dan)]

Looking at getting a few books and wondering what is out there for learner/advanced learning and where to get them?

This is also an ok book for starting out in webcam imaging.

Good collection Paul, I have all of those except Observational Astronomy, and I must say they have served me well, lots of good information in all of them.

Hi Leinad,

I would highly recommend "Astrophotography with a DSLR Camera" by Jerry Lodriguss. It is an E-book with some video tutorials on image processing. I bought before I started imaging at it told me everything I needed to know and more.

Bintel sells them.

The New Astro "the zone system" by Ron Wodaski is an excellent, practical starter book, all you need, (it got me well started, I have a short attention span ). Then I tried Photoshop Astronomy by R.Scott Ireland, a weighty 270pg tombe that just goes way over the top, very serious, not recommended . Both from Bintel.
