dawson Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 The book I ordered from amazon (though other retailers exist) arrived today and between entertaining my parents and watching masterchef, I have't been able to put it down. It's from 2007 but I've not sense anything is dated yet. Explains the principles and what can be achieved wonderfully well: Digital SLR astrophotography By Covington Cambridge press James (No conflict of interests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did skip the calculations for working out the field of view, I saw "tan" and turned the page quickly James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yes - I'm a bit naff with anything but the basic calculations - I tend to buy stuff on reviews and reputations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
