## Description

Buy The Deep-sky Imaging Primer, Second Edition 2 by Bracken, Charles (ISBN: 9780999470909) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Excellent guide for the beginner and intermediate imager - This is a very impressive and fairly comprehensive book on deep sky astrophotography. The book covers everything from sensor chips and signal to noise ratios to suitable imaging targets and processing tips (including walkthroughs for DSLR and CCD imaging) and everything in between in a clear, concise and authoritative way. The book appears to be self-published and - in the UK at least - looks to have been digitally printed-on-demand but the quality of the many images stands up pretty well considering. There are a few more typographic errors than I would consider normal but the quality and breadth of the content is terrific. Calling the book a primer does it a bit of an injustice in my opinion as the content will keep good intermediate level imagers entertained and I am sure most amateur astrophotographers will get a lot out of it; it's a great next step on from Steve Richard's acclaimed Making Every Photon Count and is very highly recommended.
Review: Instpiring and clear - This book is written with an impresively clear voice. Charles Bracken does not back away from the complexities of digital imaging, but instead explain with clarity and patience. The book clearly adds to other more practical books by another level of depth in understanding and explanations. I can warlmy recommend to any astro imager, except perhaps the absolute beginner in the field, for whom there are better suited books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instpiring and clear

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish I'd read this two years ago
*by R***M on 24 March 2014*

I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone starting off down the dark and mysterious path of astro-imaging. The book is as the title suggests, and had I read it before buying my scope and mount, I would definitely have chosen differently. From the earliest days of digital photography, I have never understood the complex world of sensors, their sizes, pixels and photosites, but found that I needed a basic understanding of all this plus signal/noise ratios and the like to be able to take my astro-imaging further. This book has given me this understanding - though he mathematical stuff is way beyond me - the examples and scenarios given more than compensate for my lack of mathematical knowledge.
