This book shows amateur astronomers how to use one-shot CCD cameras & how to get the best out of equipment that exposes all three color images at once. Because this book is specifically devoted to one-shot imaging One-Shot Color Astronomical Imaging" begins by looking at all the basics
- what equipment will be needed how color imaging is done & most importantly what specific steps need to be followed after the one-shot color images are taken. What is one-shot color imaging? Typically astronomical cooled-chip CCD cameras record only one color at a time
- rather like old-fashioned black & white cameras fitted with color filters. Three images are taken in sequence
