The GrayStel Astrophotography Handbook includes a wide range of subjects from simple starfield photography to digital processing. Methods are described from the author's personal experience of astrophotography as it can be done with cameras and telescopes that many amateur astronomers will already own, and can turn to astrophotography with the purchase of one or two accessories. The Handbook is illustrated by the Gallery of 275 pictures taken by the author over many years which demonstrate the techniques described.
Comets explain photography of the solar system and optical systems for magnification.
