I bought this many years ago when I first started astro' imaging.

Mine is marked 3rd printing 2009, don't know if it's been updated recently.

It has lots of technical explanations if you want a deeper understanding of the processes involved, not really a quick read but a good reference book and a nice thing to have if you can afford it.

I tried the software briefly but didn't get on with it and bought Maxim DL, this revealed that Maxim couldn't open the AIP files and the AIP Fits headers contained very little information.

A better book for just acquiring good advice on the basics of astro' imaging is Steve Richards "Making Every Photon Count"

There was an AIP group on Yahoo where you could get more up to date info, don't know if it's still going though.

Then maybe you should have a look at "Dark Art or Magic Bullet", by the same Steve Richards

Take a look at Chris Woodhouse's 'The Astrophotography manual' second edition - deals with processing with PS and PI plus others
