Lunar and Planetary Webcam User's Guide
Overview
This book aims to de-mystify the jargon of webcams and computer processing and provides detailed hints and tips for imaging the Sun, Moon and planets with a webcam. It demonstrates how inexpensive technology is revolutionizing imaging in amateur astronomy. These advances have enabled anyone with a modest telescope and a webcam to obtain jaw-dropping lunar and planetary images to rival those taken with cameras costing thousands of dollars. A glance through the images in this book shows just what spectacular results can be achieved by using a webcam with a telescope. Each observing target is dealt with separately, so specialized techniques are explained in context. The book further explains how webcams can be connected direct to a PC so that software can be used to "stack" multiple images, providing a stunning increase in image quality.
