Good books for advanced astrophotographers

Anyone know any good books for those who are deeper in to the hobby?

I started my Astrophotography journey in late 2016 and followed Jerry Lodriguss, one of the leading DSLR astrophotographers in the US.
His Astropix site is a wealth of information and so are his ebooks which I purchased ( see link below )

https://www.astropix.com/html/books.html

As a beginner I can’t think of a better resource than Jerry’s Astropix site and books, the A to Z of Astronomy and Astrophotography.
It definitely laid a platform for me to go from beginner to intermediate to advanced.

I know you mentioned in the title “advanced astrophotographers” but if your advanced, you don’t need no book.

The above info and link is catered for transition from beginner to intermediate to advanced

My 2 cents ……

There's a good one by Rogelio Andreo about PixInsight and also deep sky imaging.


https://www.deepskycolors.com/books/...ng-pixinsight/


There's also a book which is a collection of various top imagers like Rob Gendler about how to process various types of images. Title is something like astrophotography by the masters.


https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/0760335...erred_us_au_au


That is probably the best resource and not limited to DSLR. You can do a lot with DSLRs and there are plenty of awesome DSLR images but at the end of the day its mono CCDs that produce the highest resolution and depth of image.
