The Visible Universe
A Comprehensive Guide to the Best Deep-Sky Astrophotography Targets
by Charles Bracken & Max Whitby
Our goal in this book is to help you choose, plan, and capture your best deep-sky images. This is a reference guide for astrophotographers—both new and experienced—explaining when, from where, and how the finest objects in the night sky can be photographed.
The 110 targets that we have selected include nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters visible from both the southern and northern hemispheres. We have included a range of sizes, concentrating on larger objects that are within the reach of widely available equipment.
“The Visible Universe is a book of breathtaking inspiration. It will motivate many to venture outside and take in the majesty of the night sky. It is an essential addition to any astrophotographer’s library.”
— Christian Sasse PhD, Astronomer-in-Charge, iTelescope.Net
