From the reviews: This is not a guide to deep sky imaging in general, but more a journey of one man's embarkation into this exciting topic... What I found most impressive was that the topics are kept simple and to the point. ... I believe this book has a wealth of information for anybody who wishes to pursue astrophotography as a hobby ... . Would I recommend it? Well the simple answer is yes, there is a lot of inspiration to be gained and put into practice. (Ed Sampson, Astronomy Now, June, 2008) Parker's book is comprised of fourteen chapters spanning 155 pages and two appendices which make up a further six pages. ... provides a list of 14 books which give a broad perspective on astronomy and can open doors to the newcomer with general information on astronomy as well as potential targets. ... the book provides a good introduction to astrophotography that would be ideally suited to someone contemplating this addictive aspect of amateur astronomy. (Anthony Ayiomamitis, The Observatory, Vol. 128 (1205), August, 2008)
