Description

By Gregory I. Redfern

There are many books covering different facets of astrophotography, but few of them contain all the necessary steps for beginners in one accessible place. Astrophotography is Easy! fills that void, serving as a guide to anybody interested in the subject but starting totally from scratch. Assuming no prior experience, the author runs through the basics for how to take astrophotos using just a camera―including cell phones and tablets―as well as a telescope and more sophisticated equipment.

The book includes proven techniques, checklists, safety guidelines, troubleshooting tips, and more. Each chapter builds upon the last, allowing readers to master basic techniques before moving on to more challenging material. Also included is a comprehensive list of additional books and resources on a variety of topics so readers can continue expanding their skills.

Astrophotography Is Easy! doesn’t simply teach you the basic skills for becoming an astrophotographer: it provides you with the foundations you will need for a lifelong pursuit.

Thomas ★★★★★

This book finally broke down all those confusing steps into something I could actually follow, even just using my DSLR and a tripod. The chapter on stacking images was a lifesaver.

Violet ★★★★★

I was struggling to even set up my tripod, but this book’s step-by-step approach finally clicked for me. The section on focusing without a computer was a lifesaver—it’s so practical for backyard sessions.

Scarlett H. ★★★★★

Finally, a guide that doesn't assume I already own a telescope—the step-by-step checklist for selecting a first camera mount was exactly what I needed. It's packed with practical tips but still easy to read in short sessions.
