How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with Your Digital Camera (Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series)
Customer Review: Good advice from starting from page 1
What I really like about this book is that on the first night of picking it up I was able to take some good picture of the Moon and Venus (landscape type picture since they were close together). The other aspect is the detail of items to search for on the moon, this is good cause my telescope is only 80mm and really the moon is the only decent object to view (apologies to experts of imaging with webcams). So rather than be-moan the lack of technical equipment I can focus my efforts on something that is achievable.
Customer Review: How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with your Digital Camera
This very practical volume, by amateur astronomer Dr Tony Buick, does all it says in the title - and much more. The reader is encouraged to snap away merrily, taking advantage of the Moon’s wobbles, to capture unusual shots that would even have ‘wowed’ Galileo.
Useful extras are tips on image improvements, and summaries of the various theories of the origins of the Earth & Moon, and the moons of other planets. Regions & craters on the Moon are listed and superbly illustrated, as are lunar landings, transits & eclipses.Locals will be delighted at the inclusion of the Otford Planetary Model, which now extends around the World. Publication in paperback version is timely,
as the race for the Moon is renewed.

Customer Review: Best so Far
This field guide will appeal to beginners through to the serious amateur. It covers all the technical stuff as well as some good guidance on photography in general. If you have recently purchased the 40D and wanted a good book then this is it. If I had to be picky then my only criticism is the continued reference to L series lenses, which whilst ideal are often out of financial reach for many. You can get some very good results with some cheaper lenses.
