Chapter 1Introduction

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 1 –10

[You have a digital camera, but do you have a telescope ? Can you borrow one? Are you visiting someone who has one? Focus the telescope on something. Anything! The Moon, a distant telegraph pole, a boat on the horizon… Hold your digital camera very steadily over the eyepiece and take a picture....

Chapter 2Choosing Your Equipment

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 11 –37

[Producing astronomical pictures won’t cost you nothing. To avoid misinterpretation of that double negative – it will cost you something, but the costs can be minimized to be within the reach of most pockets.]

Chapter 3Setting Up

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 39 –56

[Having constructed the camera holder in the previous chapter you must now attach the camera. It is strongly recommended that you practice all operations from the comfort of your house or garden on a nice day. Although not at all difficult you must be able to set up and move the camera and...

Chapter 4Photographing the Phases of the Moon

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 57 –72

[Galileo, with his first telescope, saw that the Moon was not the perfect ball assumed by many. He noted, through his less than perfect lenses, dark and light areas and some large craters.]

Chapter 5Identifying Regions of the Moon

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 73 –105

[So you have now taken many photographs of the Moon and you want to put them on display. How can you identify what they show? There are many books and references to help, examples of which are given in the Appendix of this book. The commonly used Hatfield Lunar Atlas divides the Moon into 16...

Chapter 6Techniques for Photographing the Moon

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 107 –176

[Always be on the lookout for photo opportunities. Here’s an example. Notice the small bright line in the shadow just to the west of Plato in Fig. 6.1.]

Chapter 7Photographing Lunar Events

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 177 –188

[It is easy to be discouraged by less than perfect weather. Providing the sky is not completely and constantly covered an effort might be rewarded simply because you have recorded an event. Never mind that the quality is not up to expectations. A lunar eclipse is a good example.]

Chapter 8Processing Lunar Images

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 189 –204

[Those of you who have read the first edition of this book may have noticed that many of the original photographs look different. This is no coincidence, nor is it anything to do with publishing. It is that many images have been enhanced using digital processing. The general aim of this is to...

Chapter 9Solar System Moons

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 205 –213

[The early-forming Solar System must have been a very untidy and busy place with all those bits of rock and dust coalescing to form the Sun and the planets. But much of the debris continued floating around in chaotic orbits and trajectories. It had to go somewhere and most of it aggregated into...
LitStream

Chapter 10Photographing the Planets

Buick, Tony; Pugh, Philip

Pages: 215 –237

[Of course we can’t record images similar to Fig. 10.1 of Saturn with our family camera. It was taken by NASA from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft when it was around 70 million kilometer away from the planet on February 9, 2004. The details of the ring systems are remarkable.]
