The 100 Best Astrophotography Targets: A Monthly Guide for CCD Imaging with Amateur Telescopes

by: Ruben Kier
Of all the astronomy books I have read this one is the best. Mr. Kier looks like he's got his own Hubble! It's the pictures that make this paperback super special. The book is chock full of photos and they all looked the same, simply amazing. Plus, the publisher must have thought so too because it looks like they went all out on the paper. Since the book is well over 300 pages, it must have cost them a pretty penny. The scoping spec's seem of a high quality too but still doesn't explain to me why the shots are of such a high quality.

Digital SLR Astrophotography

by: Michael A. Covington
Mr Covington is an amayeur astronomer who has taken some wonderful astrophotos and is well qualified to explain the hows of this art. He has written a straight forward, easy to understand book that makes the subject to digital photography easy for the average person. I found his explanations understandable, making sense to even my "photo challenged" mind. Excellent book!

A Beginner's Guide to DSLR Astrophotography

by: Jerry Lodriguss
I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a "book on CD". It just seemed strange. However, there are concepts and examples on this CD that the author needs to convey and it can't be done with the printed page. This "book" is indeed one of the best references I've come across for those who want to start in astrophotography. It assumes you know nothing about astronomy, yet gives you the basics of the subject BEFORE you are given the basics of astrophotography. He includes links to vendors (which if you have an Internet connection while reading the book is quite useful).
