Review

From the reviews: "This book is a collection of very-high-quality, full-page, true-full-color photographs of deep-sky objects, as beautiful as images produced by space telescopes. It illustrates what can be done by amateur astronomers using commercially available telescopes and cameras and features many deep-sky objects rarely imaged by the major space telescopes. … this title was written for armchair astronomers and general science readers." (Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin, 2009) “You would not be disappointed. In one sense, this is a coffee-table book, full of beautiful pictures … . But when you start to read the text you will begin to discover how remarkable these pictures really are ― they were all taken from a back garden in the New Forest by an (admittedly very dedicated) amateur astrophotographer … . The full-colour images are extremely impressive … . The commentaries are well-written, generally accurate … . Altogether, this is a book to savour ― highly recommended.” (Robert Connon Smith, The Observatory, Vol. 129 (1213), December, 2009) Aus den Rezensionen: “Dieses Buch entstand als Kooperation von zwei außerordentlich talentierten Amateur-Astronomen. Greg Parker machte diese herrlichen Weitwinkel-Aufnahmen von Deep-Sky-Objekten in England, während Noel Carboni diese in den USA meisterhaft nachbearbeitete. ... Zusätzlich sind diese Weitwinkel-Aufnahmen einfach schön, während die großen Teleskope sich auf die Forschung konzentrieren, nicht auf ästhetische Bilder. ... Ein prachtvolles Werk, das so richtig zum Schmökern einlädt ...“ (in: Weltraum Facts, 2008, Vol. 15, Issue 4, S. 24)

From the Back Cover

"Confronted by [modern] advances, amateur astronomers – the driving force behind the study of the heavens for much of history – have had to reinvent themselves. Today's 'amateur' is, in fact, a serious professional armed with the latest tools of optics and computers to capture, analyse, catalogue, and disseminate information and images of the night sky (and day sky!). They complement, rather than compete with, the work of major observatories and research scientists. Some areas of study, such as the search for near Earth objects – asteroids and comets – still rely heavily on the efforts of dedicated amateurs. Dr Greg Parker is one such serious amateur." Sir Arthur C. Clarke "The wonders of the Universe are here! Enjoy!" Dr. Brian May "This is a book deserving an honoured place every scientific library, amateur or professional." Sir Patrick Moore

Wow!! The subtitle is "A Collection of Fine Art Astrophotography", and it does not disappoint. My wife, the artist, wanted to see what "Fine Art" and Astrophotography had in common, she was not disappointed. I have dabbled a bit in this hobby, but never with the results that these two guys have achieved. It humbles me when I see such fantastic work and realize that these are "ordinary" guys with fairly ordinary equipment.The authors have brought to our coffee table, pictures of deep sky objects that previously were only available to owners of massive telescopes and massive budgets.......in fact, these pictures are easily finer than anything found in any book of ten years ago.....using any equipment.We ordered this book, and then left for a few days on vacation...and we had some friends pick up the book when it was delivered to our front door. Well, I almost didn't get it away from them. They are both fans of deep space images and I guess I now know what their Christmas gift is going to be.As a lover of deep sky photographs some of the images bring tears to my eyes.....to understand that these are pictures of something that happened thousands of years ago and that the light is just now making its way through trillions of miles of space is incredible. And, Dr. Parker and Mr. Carboni have done a wonderful job of capturing and displaying the images.What is truly amazing is that these aren't hubble images taken with a massive budget and equipment, these are taken with "off the shelf" equipment in a less than perfect location (cloudy england)...just amazing.If you appreciate deep space photography, this is a must have book......if you have a friend who appreciates deep sky photography...what better gift? This is a gift that you can give to anyone and it'll always be displayed with pride by the recipient. (I have three, so far).

This book is packed full of stunning images thanks to the collaboration between Greg Parker and Noel Carboni, and proves what can be done with amateur equipment. The book itself is a very nice size, showing off each image in rich color on high quality paper. Having being privileged to see many of the images on the internet first via the Our Dark Skies astronomy discussion forum, I was extremely pleased to finally see them in print and found them to be even more splendid. This book does not disappoint and is an inspiration to anyone interested in astrophotography or amateur astronomy. Highly recommended!

Product arrived quickly, is almost brand-new. Very beautiful photography - this is a birthday gift for a friend who will just love it! I would buy from this vendor again.

The book was okay. Not what I hoped for. Simply put, I hoped for more photographs, and better ones.

Wonderful astrophotography.The night skies viewed with extended exposures really makes a momentous difference. Real time telescope viewing cannot reveal the detail of long exposures. Just great.

I am pretty disappointed with this book, since the 4 reviews before mine made it out to be the best thing going on astrophotography. Very disappointed, actually.The photos are all fairly similar - competent and clean and interesting but not the A-level I was given to expect. As I say, I've seen MUCH better stuff, at least in digital form and also in some books such as COSMOS (Giles Sparrow), HUBBLE (Kerrod and Stott), UNIVERSE (Dinwiddie, et. al). These are not books with just star fields but have lots of text and graphics and constellation charts and such. But the each have spectacular examples of individual features enhanced and blasting with brilliant color.STAR VISTAS is a nice enough book; but,really, it's not fantastic. It is quite competent and nice -- little more than that.I sure wouldn't want to pay full price.

My previous review didn't "take" somehow, which is unfortunate because more people need to know about this book. Greg Parker captures the photographic data with equipment that is all available to amateurs, and he emails the data to Noel Carboni, who stacks and processes the images. The result is fantastic imagery. As a member of Our Dark Skies Forum, I have been privileged to watch these images be produced, as Greg and Noel often share their images with forum members, and we can see the images evolve as Greg gathers more data and Noel combines it.The printing job is very good, and the layout of the book is great, with full-bleed imagery. Another great plus is the text descriptions that accompany the images. The authors manage to convey interesting information on these objects without resorting to jargon. The result is descriptions that are accessible to the layman (even younger people), though quite interesting to people who are more advanced in astronomy.A nice plus: There are three forwards. One each by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Sir Patrick Moore, and Dr. Brian May. Three wonderful endorsements, indeed. The generous size of the book and the high-quality images make this an excellent coffee-table book for astronomers and non-astronomers alike. If you have a friend or relative that has an interest in the night skies, this book would be the perfect gift - one that can be enjoyed over and over again. Beware, though. If you buy a copy for your nephew and take a look inside before wrapping it up, you'll have to get another copy for yourself, even if you previously had little interest in astronomy. It's that good.
