About this book
Reviews
“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)
