david o Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Tony, Welcome to SGL For all things astro-photography related you'll find the book Making Every Photon Count (by SGL's very own steppenwolf) very helpful in getting started. Easy to read, it's full of advice aimed at the imaging novice, including choosing the right equipment, tips 'n' tricks and lots of other vital stuff.Have a trawl through the imaging sections too, They're full of info and some very experienced, talented folk who, I'm sure, will be more than happy to share advice and guidance with you.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
