Absolutely Superb!
I first purchased and read this book in the Kindle format, but soon realized that I HAD to have the printed version. One reason is the marvelous astro color photos in the print version! I need a thesaurus of praise-worthy adjectives to adequately describe this book. First it is extremely well written in plain and understandable language with a minimum of jargon (for a topic as complex as astrophotography). Second, it is extremely well organized in a logical and intuitive manner. Third, it is full of helpful suggestions and insight for both the beginner and the experienced. Fourth, the charts, graphs, figures, and example photos are so well done and add another level of understanding to the text. I have done a lot of research on the web and visited countless sites with articles and instructions on different aspects of astrophotography and have found this book to be hands-down the best I've encountered. Kudos to Adam Woodworth for taking the time and care to write this book. For a beginner in night sky photography, I consider it to be essential reading. Approaching the holidays, I can assure you that it would make an excellent gift for anyone with an interest in astrophotography.
