CCD cameras, whether they are high-end amateur models or DSLRs, are the best way to capture images of the night sky. Taking these kinds of images is hard work, and The New CCD Astronomy takes you through the steps needed to get great images.
But a camera is just one part of the puzzle. Other important hardware is covered in detail: telescopes, mounts, guiders, etc. Software is necessary to process the images, and various key techniques are covered in detail. This includes processing for specific kinds of objects, such as galaxies and nebulae.
The New CCD Astronomy will help you make good decisions as you put together a system, and it will take you through each step in the process when you are out under the stars taking images.
