Well written, comprehensive, and easy to read.
Being new to Astro photography this book is an absolute game changer. Very informative, well written and easy to read. Does not blind you with science. aimed at all levels of skill. Great images, the explanations are brilliant. Camera settings for each situation are clear and informative. Explains that you do not need expensive equipment to get brilliant results. I thougherly recommend if you are interested in the subject.

More than a little interesting for beginners?
A well-written book, but sometimes the way something is described suggests that maybe my astronomer knowledge is far too basic? As a pensioner trying to understand some of the basic measurement suggestions, needs more than a second reading for someone with no prior knowledge, but I suppose I will get there.

A great book!
This is an amazing book that you keep it for life once you've read it! I'm definitely going back to it when not sure about something. Everything is explained clearly and without using any nonsense jargon. The quality of the book is great. Well-binded and the pages are from that sort of shinny paper instead of plain paper, which increases the quality this book is made. Definitely a primer for the ones new to astrophotography. If I had to add anything, it'd be some references to telescopes. I appreciate this book is focusing on DSLR cameras, because the author wants to make astrophotography accessible to everyone, but as a telescope owner myself, I'd like to learn something more about the use of a telescope for astrophotography from this amazing author. Buy it, you won't regret it!
