Astrophotography is Easy! Reviews

Astrophotography is Easy! Basics for Beginners a book for budding astro-imagers that avoids overly technical jargon in favour of a casual, reader-friendly guide. The tome contains practical advice on photographing everything in the sky from the Sun, Moon, and planets to nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies, as well as the best techniques to record each one. (Sky and Telescope Magazine, February, 2021)


True to its title, this comprehensive how-to book tries to cover everything a novice astrophotographer needs to know: cameras, lenses, and telescopes; imaging methods, mountings, and software; and techniques and tips for capturing such celestial objects and events as the Sun, Moon, stars, eclipses, and auroras. Gregory Redfern draws on his more than four decades of experience as an astrophotographer to provide key guidance to even the most rank amateur and launch them on a lifetime of celestial exploration. (Physics Today, Vol. 73 (11), 2020)
