How do you get the best from your telescope? For those interested in photographing the Sun, Moon and planets, this volume provides a detailed reference. Originally published in 1995, this guide is packed with practical tips on how to obtain the highest resolution in your astrophotography, and provides a wealth of stunning images by highly talented amateurs showing just what can be achieved. Individual chapters describe the various types of telescopes and the most suitable equipment to photograph a given subject, and recommend films and techniques in developing and printing.
