Book Reviews of Astrophotography for the Amateur

Book Review: A DECENT REFRESHER BOOK
Summary: 2 Stars

I see where this is the 2nd edition of this book I feel that the first edition was alot better. The book has decent information covered here but it seems like a rehash of info only slightly changed by the author. To make this book better the author should know that ccd is the wave of the future and if he decides to write a 3rd book to do more research this time, some of the films mentioned are out of date.
