Photographing Galaxies From Light Polluted Skies - A How-To Guide For Amateur Astronomers

de Jane Clark

~~59,61€~~ 53,65€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Galaxies present a unique challenge to town dwellers. Amateur astronomers can''t use narrowband filters to shut out light pollution or use ordinary techniques as they would in dark, open fields. As one can imagine, this discrepancy with light means not everyone who looks up at the night sky is capable of seeing all it has to offer. What a shame! Author Jane Clark, however, has spent two years going down blind alleys trying to get a technique to work to combat the amateur astronomer''s biggest enemy, light pollution. In this book, you will discover the fascinating variety of galaxies: spirals, ellipticals and irregular galaxies, often sculpted by gravity as they encounter one another in the vastness of space. You will also learn how to image them, as well! While the most decent images pick up background galaxies 10-20x as far, each containing billions of stars, that''s just the local universe! This book will help you observe for yourself right in your own backyard, allowing you to get a sense of the sheer vastness of the universe.

Using his own images, mostly taken with smaller telescopes as opposed to Hubble, James Webb, or multi-meter mountain top observatories, show amateur astronomers and hobbyists what can be accomplished by using modest and affordable equipment. The book begins with a primer on telescopes and the myriad types on the market today. You''ll read about why there are so many models as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. This is followed by an introduction to astrophotography, a complete description of paper and digital star atlases available today, and a discussion on celestial nomenclature - why are celestial objects named what they are named! You''ll learn about light, and how it interacts with matter to create what we see in the night sky. Finally, you''ll go on a grand tour of the Universe, from the Moon and Sun to comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.
