Shoot the Moon

'Dupont-Bloch, an author and amateur astronomer, reminds the reader that the moon is a beautiful object with a huge variety of geologic features that can be seen from even the most light-polluted urban location ... Have a smartphone or a cheap webcam? If yes, then one is ready to shoot the moon. Thinking about buying a DSLR camera or interested in a high-end CCD imager? This book will help one make the right choice. Want to learn how to make images with the best focus, get good contrast and color balance, take stereo images of the moon, find the Apollo landing site, or even shoot video of lunar impacts? This book shows 'how-to'. The work will be most useful to the serious amateur, but novices will find enough background to get up to speed with a little help from the numerous references and excellent lunar charts that are provided.' T. D. Oswalt, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach
'[The book] covers the use of a wide range of equipment in all possible permutations, from phone cameras, consumer cameras, and standard lenses, up to the usual amateur CCD and CMOS cameras coupled to equatorially-mounted telescopes. The subject is treated with some humour (or quirkiness), with features like tables of methods where levels of difficulty are represented by social-media-type 'smiley' icons ... This is the most thorough and detailed book covering the whole subject of lunar imaging I have yet seen. ...' David Arditti, The Observatory
