Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing, 2nd Ed.

Authors: Richard Berry and James Burnell

In this second edition of The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing, Richard Berry and James Burnell address many important changes that have taken place in astronomical imaging since the publication of the first edition. Today's affordable astro-imaging capable digital single-lens-reflex cameras (DSLRs), the growing power of personal computers, and the proliferation of telescopes and imaging accessories has brought imaging capabilities within the reach of practically every amateur astronomer.

The original chapters on astronomical equipment and imaging techniques were amplified, discussions on astrometry and photometry were revised to reflect the steady growth in these scientific fields, and tutorials in the back of the book have been expanded to help you get up to speed quickly. Also new are comprehensive chapters on color imaging with astronomical CCD cameras and processing color images from digital cameras, and photon-counting fundamentals every serious astro-imager needs to know.
