Making Beautiful Deep-Sky Images: Astrophotography with Affordable Equipment and Software (repost)

Greg Parker, "Making Beautiful Deep-Sky Images: Astrophotography with Affordable Equipment and Software"


2007 | ISBN-10: 0387713522 | 178 pages | PDF | 7 MB

This book is based around the author’s beautiful and sometimes awe-inspiring color images and mosaics of deep-sky objects.


The images were used as the basis of a public exhibition held at the University of Southampton (Summer 2006), attended by the press, local radio and TV interviewers as well as the public. The book describes how similar images can be created by amateur astronomers, using commercially available telescopes and CCD cameras. Subsequent processing and image enhancement in the “electronic darkroom” is covered in detail as well.


Not everybody can afford the biggest and best telescopes and CCD cameras, so a range of telescopes and equipment is considered, from the author’s 11-inch with Hyperstar camera, down to more affordable instruments.


Appendices provide links to free software – not available from a single source – and are themselves an invaluable resource.

Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications by Dimitri Konstantas


English | Dec. 20, 2005 | ISBN: 1846281512 | 466 Pages | PDF | 5.74 MB

Interoperability: the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort from the user is a key issue in manufacturing and industrial enterprise generally. It is fundamental to the production of goods and services quickly and at low cost at the same time as maintaining levels of quality and customisation. Composed of 40 papers of international authorship, Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications ranges from academic research through case studies to industrial experience of interoperability. Many of the papers have examples and illustrations calculated to deepen understanding and generate new ideas. A concise reference to the state of the art in software interoperability, Interoperability of Enterprise Software and Applications will be of great value to engineers and computer scientists working in manufacturing and other process industries and to software engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in the academic environment.
