Beschreibung
Not all amateur astronomers who live in a suburban location realize just how very effective a ¿chilled-chip¿ astronomical CCD-camera and software can be at cutting through seemingly impenetrable light-pollution. CCD Astrophotography from the Suburbs details one man¿s approach to the problem of getting high-quality astronomical images under light-polluted conditions. Adam Stuart has written this reference book for all amateur astronomers who are interested in CCD imaging, especially those who have to work under suburban conditions. The book outlines the materials and (commercially-available) equipment used for high-quality imaging. The many wonderful images Dr. Stuart has produced allow the reader to see the product of ¿ initially ¿ a fellow beginner¿s efforts. The glorious images found in numerous books, and especially those seen in Sky and Telescope magazine ¿ might seem out of reach. But this is not really the case. Respectable images are attainable with modest equipment. This book outlines a complete and thoroughly tested working program for every beginner to achieve high-quality digital imaging.

Zusammenfassung

This book details one man's approach to the problem of getting high-quality astronomical images under light-polluted conditions. The author provides a complete and thoroughly tested program that will help every CCD-beginner to work towards digital imaging of the highest quality. The book outlines the materials and (commercially-available) equipment used for high-quality imaging. The many wonderful images the author has produced allow the reader to see the product of - initially - a fellow beginner's efforts. The glorious images found in numerous books, and especially those seen in Sky and Telescope magazine - might seem out of reach. But this is not really the case. Respectable images are attainable with modest equipment. The book is equally useful to astronomers who have perfect observing conditions, as to those who have to observe from light-polluted city skies.
