Al.Grant Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Found this earlier today (pdf): A Full and Proper Kit: An introduction to the gear of astro-photography. http://www.astroasheville.org/astronomy-resources/ Pdf can be found about 3/4 down the page. "This paper is a discussion of hardware, software, methods and actions that a newcomer might find useful. It is not meant to be an in-depth discussion of all forms of astro-photography; that would take many books and more knowledge than I have available. But I hope that my descriptions and graphics will help a newcomer to the art understand a bit more what is involved in this wonderful pastime." A couple of years old but gives a decent intro covering most areas of imaging. Edited January 18, 2019 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 A link or a quote is ok James - but direct copying and posting up several pages from a book can leave us and/or yourself, open to legal interpretation. We just like to keep you (and us) free from any hastle or accusation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 No, I wasn't referring to my faux pas the other day, I mean I've saved the pdf at the link above on my PC in case they pull the link. James (P.S. I've just found those pages are on Google Books, I'll post hte link in the other thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That's absolutely awesome! Great find thanks for sharing. Kim it's freely available to all as a PDF on the website so no copyright laws are being infringed by saving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al.Grant Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Just for clarity: The article (along with others) is freely available to download here http://www.astroasheville.org/astronomy-resources/ I think the only copyright issue is that the author is properly credited with producing the document. But if there is any doubt then I have no problem with the link being removed. Edited January 18, 2019 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think kim is referring to something bad i did the other day, not this thread. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al.Grant Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think kim is referring to something bad i did the other day, not this thread. Jd Ahh OK. As for this pdf - there is actually a 'Download' link next to each article on their website, so I'm guessing they were expecting people to download it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've just been through that file and it's good. I found the bit on how CCD/CMOS sensors work interesting; simplistic but made sense to me. For a freebie it's good. Really good find, Al. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great find, I have saved it also and look forward to reading it in full when I have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sorry James - I thought you were suggesting we (staff) might pull it due to your minor indiscretion the other day lol. I'll leave the advice there anyhow for others who aren't aware. Anything designated as free downloads are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not seen that before, but it does look very comprehensive. I'm going to have a good read at that, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
