Video Astronomy on the Go Using Video Cameras With Small Telescopes

“Amateur astronomer Ashley presents a thorough guide to the art of capturing astronomical images using amateur video technology. The text serves as a reference for owners of small telescopes who want to view live astronomical images on a screen. … This text would be valuable to general readers who own small (under 12-inch aperture) telescopes, and for institutions that hold public viewing nights. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers, faculty, and professionals.” (M. K. Hemenway, Choice, Vol. 55 (9), May, 2018)

“Video Astronomy on the Go demonstrates how a relatively inexpensive low-light video camera can be combined with a small telescope, such as the ubiquitous 80-mm f/5 refractor, to create a portable video telescope. ... In Video Astronomy on the Go Joseph Ashley achieves his aim of providing an introduction to anyone new to video astronomy with a small telescope who wishes to get started with relatively inexpensive entry-level equipment.” (Alex Pratt, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1261), December, 2017)
