Books on Astronomy photography

[David Tullar]

Can anyone recommend a good guide for a beginner looking to take some astronomy pictures, equipment needed, set up and technique. Nothing to technical, just a good beginners start. Thanks.

The Backyard Astronomer's Guide by Dickinson and Dyer.

[David Tullar]

Thanks skipper34, I will find a copy

I'll second that. A great book

Michael Covington has a few good astro imaging books. For the more serious, I highly recommend "the new CCD astronomer" by Ron Wodaski. Simply awesome.

Making Beautiful Deep-sky Images: Astrophotography with Affordable Equipment and Software (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) by Greg Parker is pretty no-nonsense and practical. The images from his collaboration with Noel Carboni are inspirational (if anyone has seen their image of Comet Lullin you will know what I mean).

Thanks again to all.
