Sky at Night Guide to Astro Photography

[No-i-dear]

A mate of mine got the S.A.N guide a while back and for a beginner like me it has a lot of good info. Phoned up to try to get a copy and they are out of print with no plans to reprint (just my luck!). Can anyone point me in the right direction where I might obtain a copy? Thanks!

I still see them on the shelves of some branches of WH Smiths. Picked one up only a month or so ago from the Waterloo branch.

Was this in one of the magazines or a separate publication?

[DaveS]

It's a separate publication. I think I've seen copies in my local Smiths.

I've looked at the WH Smith website and they are not listed.

My local Smiths has the beginers guide to astronomy one but I have never seen the photography one on the shelves. I think it must be selective as to which branches stocked them.

They are not on Amazon or Ebay either. Getting as rare as hens teeth?

I bought a copy in W.H. Smiths in Harrogate a couple of weeks ago - one of those 'whilst stocks last' situations I guess.

I saw this in W H Smith in Leicester (Fosse Park) yesterday, so they are still around.

There are (or were) still some about. I saw it in WHSmiths in Swindon, although this was a few weeks ago.

Ipswich WHS had one, but not any longer!

BTW they call them 'bookazines'.

Hi There,

Another great book is 'making every photon count' if you cannot find a copy of the SAN then have a go at this one. It is very well regarded.

Cheers
