### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent text to beginning ccd imagers
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016*

Excellent book to use in order to understand the intricacies of ccd imaging. The images in the text maybe in grayscale, but the reader can refer to Ron's internet site to see the color images. A lot of information is crammed into the 476 pages of text; coverage includes matching a telescope to a ccd camera, different focus methods for ccd work, some info on "fun" science, and a lot more. What stood out to me is the fact that Ron used several software packages that are on the market from SBIG's CCDOps, Software Bisque's "CCDSoft", and Diffraction Limited's  "Maxim DL" to name a few noted. Also Ron shows how to process images using Adobe PhotoShop, which I found to be a great help to me in my processing work.The book is rather large in physical size (8.5" by 11") and very easy to read and understand. Appears Ron made all of the mistakes a beginning ccd imager makes and wrote the book to help eliminate the heads associated with learning the hobby. I would place this text along side the film classics such as Covington's "Astrophotography for the Amateur" and the one and only "A manual of advanced celestial photography" by Brad Wallis and Robert Provin (Wallis and Provin have a lot of information on optics and mounts that I see as invaluable for imagers) as must haves for an amateur astronomer's bookshelf.

    Great book, but get out your checkbook
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2006*

This book has been a fabulous learning tool for me.  My only complaints are two 1) No color photos, which others have mentioned; 2) The equipment and software the author recommends are high end.  Not all of us can afford to spend $7000 to $10,000 to get started in CCD imaging.Much of the instructions are given for Maxim DL ($500) and CCDSoft (which primarily supports SBIG cameras).  The most popular CCD cameras on the market now are the Meade DSI line for introductory users, and no attention is given to them at all, or the Autostar and Envisage software.As well, many of us are LX200 owners who bought our scopes and went into imaging later and can't afford to upgrade to Astro-Physics mounts and Takahashi OTAs.  Or purchase SBIG cameras.  I would recommend some section devoted to entry-level equipment, as many of us will eventually upgrade later and use the information in the text, just not right away.Other than that, I learned a ton from this book and still recommend it highly.  It will last me for years, and the web site support is fabulous.  Just wish I had the author's budget for equipment.

    The CCD Bible!
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2012*

From a beginner's perspective, if you are attempting DSO astrophotography on a shoestring budget this book will break your heart!  But it speaks the cold hard truth in that astrophotography and shoestring budget in the same sentence is an oxymoron!  It does however contain fundamental and valuable information for anyone getting into CCD imaging and is an excellent reference to keep on hand.  Love the website and the electronic version of the book is very convenient, just a computer away if I need it.  Wodaski's new book has recently been released and I look forward to that purchase also.
