| Title | Budget Astrophotography : Imaging with Your DSLR or Webcam |
| Author(s) | Jensen, Timothy J |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | XIII, 247 p. 147 illus., 83 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Here are clear??explanations of??how to make superb astronomical deep-sky images using only a DSLR or webcam and an astronomical telescope ??? no expensive dedicated CCD cameras needed! The book is written for amateur astronomers interested in budget astrophotography ??? the deep sky, not just the Moon and planets ??? and for those who want to improve their imaging skills using DSLR and webcams. It is even possible to use existing (non-specialist astronomical) equipment for scientific applications such as high resolution planetary and lunar photography, astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy. The introduction of the CCD revolutionized astrophotography. The availability of this technology to the amateur astronomy community has allowed advanced science and imaging techniques to become available to almost anyone willing to take the time to learn a few, simple techniques. Specialized cooled-chip CCD imagers are capable of superb results in the right hands ??? but they are all very expensive. If budget is important, the reader is advised on using a standard camera instead. Jensen provides techniques useful in acquiring beautiful high-quality images and high level scientific data in one accessible and easy-to-read book. It introduces techniques that will allow the reader to use more economical DSLR cameras ??? that are of course also used for day-to-day photography ??? to produce images and data of high quality, without a large cash investment |

| Title | Shrouds of the Night : Masks of the Milky Way and Our Awesome New View of Galaxies |
| Author(s) | Block, David L;Freeman, Kenneth C |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XX, 436 p. 204 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Milky Way has captivated the mind of multitudes ever since the beginning of time. Particularly striking are its apparent dusty gaping voids. With the advent of near-infrared technology, astronomers have discovered an awesome new view of its structure, and of the structure of other galaxies around us. Galaxies are encased within shrouds of the night: shrouds or veils of cosmic dust, which have given us a totally incomplete picture of what our majestic Universe actually looks like. Shrouds of the Night features some of the most remarkable early photographic work of masters such as Isaac Roberts and Edward Barnard, before presenting to the reader the unmasked (dust penetrated) view of our cosmos, using some of the world???s largest ground and space-based telescopes. "Galaxies are the 'ecosystems' of the cosmos ??? vast assemblages in which gas and dust are recycled through successive generations of stars. The authors of this beautiful book describe our ever-sharpening view of the Milky Way, the galaxy that is our home ??? and the discovery of the other galaxies that are its neighbors in deep space. Their voyage lies not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. In fine images and eloquent text, the two distinguished authors convey the fascination ??? indeed the inspiration ??? of this scientific quest." -Lord Martin Rees of Ludlow OM Kt PRS Astronomer Royal, President of the Royal Society, Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge. "It's hard to decide what is most appealing about this unusual offering: its brilliantly chosen treasury of illustrations, or the text's poetic journey of discovery from smoke to galaxies, from the minuscule to the gigantic and the astonishing connections between them. Along the path are rich insights into the varieties of astronomical seeing, from the history of photography to the space telescopes that extend our vision beyond the visible. Historical connections are everywhere, from Jean Petit's 16th-century woodblock initials to excursions into a stately attic and to photographic archives. Enjoy the treat, including the reflections on the deep meaning of it all!" -Owen Gingerich Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, author of God's Universe |

| Title | Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope |
| Author(s) | English, Neil |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2011. |
| Description | XII, 284 p. 139 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The refracting telescope has a long and illustrious past. Here???s what the author says about early telescopes and today???s refractors: ???Four centuries ago, a hitherto obscure Italian scientist turned a home-made spyglass towards the heavens. The lenses he used were awful by modern standards, inaccurately figured and filled with the scars of their perilous journey from the furnace to the finishing workshop. Yet, despite these imperfections, they allowed him to see what no one had ever seen before ??? a universe far more complex and dynamic than anyone had dared imagine. But they also proved endlessly useful in the humdrum of human affairs. For the first time ever, you could spy on your neighbor from a distance, or monitor the approach of a war-mongering army, thus deciding the fate of nations. ???The refractor is without doubt the prince of telescopes. Compared with all other telescopic designs, the unobstructed view of the refractor enables it to capture the sharpest, highest contrast images and the widest usable field. No other telescope design can beat it on equal terms. From a practical point of view, refractors are the most comfortable and least troublesome telescope to observe with. They require little maintenance and cool down rapidly to allow you to observe in minutes rather than hours. Because a refractor has more back focus than almost any other form of telescope, it can accept the widest range of accessories, including filters, cameras, and binoviewers.??? Explore in this book what makes refractors such a good choice for amateur astronomers and how to choose the right one for you. Also get some great tips on how to use your new refractor. Get started now, seeing for yourself the dazzling and complex universe first opened to human sight more just 400 years ago |

| Title | The Rainbow Sky : An Exploration of Colors in the Solar System and Beyond |
| Author(s) | Buick, Tony |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2010. |
| Description | XVIII, 359 p. 322 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The world is full of color, from the blue ocean and the yellow daffodils and sunflowers in green carpeted meadows to the majestic purple mountains in the distance and brightly hued coral reefs off the edges of tropical coasts. But what is color, exactly? Why do we see things in different colors? Do we all see the same colors? Like the surface of our planet, the sky above us offers us an endless palette of color, a visual feast for the eyes. Besides atmospheric phenomena such as sunsets and rainbows, there are the many varied worlds of the Solar System, which we can spy through our telescopes, with their subtle colorings of beige and blue and green. Faraway star systems have suns that come in shades ranging from red and yellow to blue and white. Scientists even often use "false colors" to enhance the features of images they take of structures, such as the rings of Saturn and Jupiter???s clouds. This book, with its clear explanations of what makes the sky such a colorful place and in its great wealth of pictures, dazzles and delights while informing. Learn what makes the sky blue and our Sun yellow. Learn about all the quirky atmospheric events that color our world. And finally, learn how to see, really see, what???s around you and appreciate and enjoy it |
