This is a very worthwhile book and I think almost anyone who has an interest in using relatively short exposures for astrophotography - or using relatively modest equipment will benefit from reading it.Unfortunately, the book suffers from relatively poor editing. The author is a very smart guy (I've been reading what he has written in non-book form for some years and know this to be true), but everyone needs a good editor with decent knowledge in the subject matter and the author didn't have that. This means the book should get about 4.7-4.8 stars (4.7-4.8 is closer to "5" than it is to "4" so I give it a "5") because it is still a very valuable book which accomplishes its primary goal beautifully.The biggest problem is with the description of how the CCD sensor works and of the Bayer matrix. You will get information which will generally allow you to understand how you need to interact with the equipment and to make it work for you and it is thus not a fatal flaw, but the information is incorrect nonetheless. In any case, a full understanding of how a CCD and/or CMOS sensor works and of the Bayer matrix is not the reason you should read this book.You should read this book because Mr. Ashley will show you how to choose and use relatively small telescopes and lightweight mounts (which tend to be relatively inexpensive) and the relatively short exposures required in this context to do some really good astrophotography. I do not know of any other source which will give you as much help toward that goal and it is why I am going to keep my paperback copy and am contemplating getting the Kindle version as well.So yes, it is flawed, but not in the most important particulars. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Primer for Minimalist-style Astrophotography *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016* I got into visual amateur astronomy about ten years ago and had an interest in astrophotography but did not know where to start and certainly did not want to spend thousands of dollars on an unknown hobby. Mr. Ashley's book is geared toward someone just like me, a novice with little knowledge of AP and a small budget to get me started. Step by step in clear, understandable language, Mr. Ashley takes you through the minimalists approach to AP on a budget and on the go. Mr. Ashley is not only an excellent writer with the ability to teach what can be a difficult, hard to understand subject in a way that is enjoyable and understandable, but he also has hands-on, personal experience of the subject matter he writes about with dedication and passion. His personal AP examples are inspiring and he is quick to help others who may have questions as they start their journey down the AP road. This book is a must read for anyone with an interest in AP while not breaking the family bank. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AP On A Modest Budget... *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2014* There are quite a few good books on AP out there but this one has special appeal for me. It details how someone like me who doesn't suffer from "deep pockets" can turn out some serious images. All the information is presented in a thorough and well organized manner that makes it do-able without spraining one's brain. I'm eager to get started!For those who may be more financially fortunate, it offers a way to "get one's toe in the water" without committing thousands of dollars to learn if AP is for them.And, it proposes an alternative for those who live in light polluted areas to assemble a small "kit" which can easily be transported to a dark sky site.Clear dark skies everyone, and enjoy this book!Bob --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/15179607-astrophotography-on-the-go-using-short-exposures-with-light-mounts](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/15179607-astrophotography-on-the-go-using-short-exposures-with-light-mounts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
