Publisher's Synopsis
Galaxies are one of the prime astrophotography targets, for good reason. They have interesting details that are revealed through backyard imaging which cannot be seen through the telescope eyepiece.
Scientists are still learning about how these amazing objects develop and interact. For the first time, from our backyards, we are able to see aspects of these galaxies which previously only professionals at the largest observatories could see, features like VV rows, nuclear cores, collisional rings, loops, barlenses, and long star streams. This book was written to help astrophotographers understand and image these amazing galaxies from their backyards and to witness first-hand the mysteries and wonders they contain. The 94 pages of the book contain 850 images of galaxies, highlighting their unique and fascinating features. The appendix includes technical data for 1327 galaxies.
