Description:

This book (color) is a collection of images taken with a Canon DSLR (5D and 20D) and my 4", 10" and 14" telescopes here in Hillsborough, N.C. As a beginner in astronomy, I use my camera to see more clearly, what the eye just does not see in the telescope, especially - gallaxies. My pictures are NOT Hubble pictures, but a very nice collection of the different types of galaxies that reside in the vast unknown. I have a brief discussion on how to take pictures, but I have another book dedicated to this topic for BEGINNERS. *UPDATED* to include some difficult and distant galaxy clusters, mainly Abell groups. it is amazing what we can image with amateur telescopes in your yard! *
