Publisher: Springer Number Of Pages: 224 Publication Date: 2006-05-18 Sales Rank: 560912 ISBN / ASIN: 1846281970 EAN: 9781846281976 Binding: Paperback Manufacturer: Springer Studio: Springer Average Rating: 5 In the last few years, cheap webcams have revolutionized amateur astronomy by providing a very inexpensive alternative to purpose-made astronomical CCD cameras, which use refrigerated imaging chips and are thus extremely expensive. Webcams are capable of more advanced work than 'normal' digital cameras because their simple construction makes it easy to remove the webcam's lens, allowing it to be interfaced directly to a telescope. Using a webcam is not difficult but most amateur astronomers who have tried to do this do not achieve the finest results, despite the webcam's potential. There are numerous imaging and image processing tricks and techniques, and all of them are needed to get the best results. Along with webcam technology has come simple-to-use image processing and enhancement using a PC: the most powerful technique is, 'stacking' in which the best images (out of hundreds) are selected and summed automatically to provide startlingly good results. "Lunar and Planetary Webcam User’s Guide" de-mystifies the jargon of webcams and computer processing, and provides detailed hints and tips for imaging the Sun, Moon and planets with a webcam. He looks at each observing target separately, describing and explaining all specialised techniques in context. Glance through the images in this book to see just how much you can – easily – achieve by using a webcam with your telescope! Review: Highly Recommend This is a great book to get you started on Webcam astrophotography. Great for beginners and advanced webcam imagers. Highly recommend. Review: Lunar and Planetary Webcam User's Guide review I have been using a webcam for years to image the planets. This book helped me go to the next level. Review: A Romp Through the Solar System! I was lucky enough to find out about imaging with a webcam when hardly anyone outside QCUIAG(Quickcam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group)had given it a second thought. There were individuals in that group that were, even then, turning out images of the Solar System that rivaled professional observatories with these inexpensive devices that were never intended to be turned skyward. But because of the forward-thinking of some of their members and people's unceasing drive to tinker (and discover!), major monthly publications like Sky and Telescope and Astronomy quickly understood the power these little cams wielded and began to pay considerable attention to the images that were beginning to fill their reader gallery pages. As with any technology, the quality of the cameras, their chips, and ultimately the software that was being written to drive them, resulted in amateur images that were making everyone take notice and want to get in on this versatile and simple method of capturing exciting images of our nearest neighbours. Until I discovered this gem on Amazon, I was pretty much limited to whatever knowledge I could acquire about imaging with a webcam to what was posted on the net. This book in the "Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series" has changed all that. It is a wonderfully concise and richly illustrated guidebook for both beginner and advanced amateur alike. It introduces in the most basic way how anyone with a modest telescope and simple webcam can turn out world-class images. Now to put this new knowledge to work in improving my own imaging techniques! Review: Webcam Planetary Imaging This is an outstanding reference for you astronomy buffs who use webcams and RegiStax for planetary imaging. Mobberley's book is also sprinkled with all sorts of observations, like living in the Low Country on the coast can sometimes be an advatage for observing. This is not intuitive. http://mihd.net/cizjrb [ Last edited by wangye on 2007-10-27 at 16:16 ] |
