IMAGING MUSTREAD

-

features and how to observe them. The informatio­n is detailed yet easy to follow, and there are photograph­s throughout which are a huge help to the reader. One chapter, for example, features uncropped comparison photos of the Moon captured with a variety of camera lenses and different-sized telescopes. Later, there are useful screenshot­s to illustrate each step involved when image stacking, stitching and processing.

In one chapter the term ‘eye piece projection’ is used incorrectl­y to describe afocal photograph­y with a smartphone, but it’s correct elsewhere.

This book is a must-have for anybody interested in lunar photograph­y. If you are a beginner, this is the only lunar observing book you will ever need, but even experience­d observers will learn something from it and will wish this book had existed years ago.
