Road to Modern Astrophotography

[jambouk]

I've been sourcing books to sell at the coming Spring Conference of the Society for the History of Astronomy, and have especially been looking for those relating to the history of astrophotography as Nik Szymanek is giving a talk titled "The Road to Modern Astrophotography" and I know there is much interest in the topic. It's been fun finding books and looking through them when they arrive. I'm also looking forward to the day and especially to Nik's talk. 

More information about the day can be found here:

I am not surprised that there is "much interest" in this. If only I lived closer ... I'm sure it will live up to your expectations.

Also of interest on this subject is the Robert Gendler and R Jay GaBany book Breakthrough.  http://www.robgendlerastropics.com/Breakthrough-Cover.html

I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of this and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks Olly, I've just ordered a copy of that for myself. James

Jolly good. (I hope Rob's reading this so he'll send me his next book for review as well! )
