Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+, Dust Jacket: Very Good. 1976. Amphoto. Fourth Edition.

This is a complete guide to the photography of the heavens. Whether the photographer is interested in capturing the beauty of the moon or the sun, the magnificence of comets or man-made satellites, or the vague incandenscence of distant galaxies and nebulae, he will find vital information on equipment and techniques here. From the simplest shots requiring an ordinary camera to the most advanced areas of astrophotography calling for more sophisticated equipment, the author skillfully guides the reader through the technological maze of contemporary equipment, materials, and methods. This fourth edition of a photographic classic has been revised and enlarged to include the latest developments in advanced photographic techniques. Special reference to color photography and a brand-new color section have also been added. The text and illustrations in general have been updated to provide current information on cameras, telescopes, lenses, films and development, and new sources of equipment -- all fully indexed. A great deal of this book is devoted to showing you how to assemble lenses, cameras, telescopes, mountings, and drives to suit your individual needs. This information is developed along lines of increasing complexity, the easier constructions and techniques coming first. Clearly written and profusely illustrated with superb photographs, many by amateurs, Outer Space Photography for the Amateur is one of the outstanding volumes on this exciting area of photography.
