The CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) has revolutionised optical astronomy during the
past 20 years, and specialised astronomical CCD cameras are now even more affordable,
colour is standard, and they provide spectacular results. Digital Astrophotography:
The State of the Art, provides some examples of the best images, and gives readers
hints and tips about how to get the best out of this extraordinary technology.
Experts in CCD astronomy from North America and Europe have contributed to this book,
illustrating their help and advice with many beautiful colour images – the book is
in full colour throughout. Techniques range from using simple webcams to highly
technical aspects such as supernovae patrolling. Computer processing, stacking
and image-enhancement are detailed, along with many hints and tips from the experts.
