Best Astrophotography information, January 15, 2007
This CD by Jerry Lodriguss on astrophotography with a Digital SLR camera is the best written and informative product I have had the pleasure to own and learn from. I have more than 20 books on this subject in my collection and this is by far the best. I highly recommend it to all who are or may be interested in "astrophotography."

Great for beginners; Average for Intermediate, March 25, 2008
For a beginning astrophotographer or one with the interest, this book excels. It covers every aspect from A to Z including required equipment and software to optional equipment and software. I feel that 70-75% of this book is geared towards beginners.
Intermediates like myself will find that the majority of the topics covered up to the processing chapters to be unnecessary. We already have the equipment and have been taking images. We are wanting to take our images from average to great. I did find the processing chapters useful. I have already incorporated the Photoshop tools into my processing. However, the information relating to Photoshop is limited and leaves me feeling like there is much more that Photoshop can offer.
I gave it 4 stars as the book itself, format and information is great. Most important is to try and determine if you are a beginner or intermediate astrophotographer.

Excellent work, January 21, 2008
Jerry has done an excellent job with this work. It covers all of the dSLR astrophotography concepts in clear detail. I just wish it were in book rather than CD format. It is hard to leaf through CD's or to recline beside the pool with them. That, plus the high price is what brought me to give it only four stars. The content gets five stars!

An Advanced Beginner's Perspective, December 31, 2008
The previous reviews all reflect my feelings as well: this is a great introduction to the topic for even a raw beginner; the information is in-depth enough to take a beginner to the intermediate; the organization and format are top-notch (but I too would prefer a physical book to use for reference); but what this text does that very few these days bother to is provide sufficient background and detail to the subject to truly make you knowledgeable should you choose to study and apply the information. Every step and page covers the why, as well as the how, while maintaining a very readable style.
There are many useful hyperlinks throughout the book to products or vendors websites where the equipment being discussed can be purchased or investigated further but several I tried were dead. This only adds to my desire to have this book either in physical format or provided as a download at half the cost. Had this been a physical book or cheaper download I would have rated it 5 without hesitation.

Must-Have for DSLR Astrophotography, October 11, 2009
I gave a five-star review to the Lodriguss book on Phototshop and this one is just as good. This is a "must-have" for the DSLR astrophotographer and with different strengths than are found in other books that cover DSLR astrophotography. Lodriguss uses Images Plus for processing. I tried it and liked it. Specific protocols and advice make this book especially valuable.

Disappointment, September 14, 2007
I really liked the webpages of this author and though that the book will have much more stuff but it turned out to be almost exact duplicate of the web pages.
