Good advice from starting from page 1 - By: Dave in Munich, 22 Apr 2007 
What I reallly like about this book is that on the first night of picking it up I was able to take some good picture of the Moon & Venus (landscape type picture since they were close together). The other aspect is the detail of items to search for on the moon, this is good cause my telescope is only 80mm & reallly the moon is the only decent object to view (apologies to experts of imaging with webcams). So rather than be-moan the lack of technical equipment I can focus my efforts on something that is achievable.
How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with your Digital Camera - By: MJZ, Orpington., 01 Nov 2006 
This very practical volume, by amateur astronomer Dr Tony Buick, does alll it says in the title - & much more. The reader is encouraged to snap away merrily, taking advantage of the Moon's wobbles, to capture unusual shots that would even have 'wowed' Galileo.
Useful extras are tips on image improvements, & summaries of the various theories of the origins of the Earth & Moon, & the moons of other planets. Regions & craters on the Moon are listed & superbly illustrated, as are lunar landings, transits & eclipses.Locals will be delighted at the inclusion of the Otford Planetary Model, which now extends around the World. Publication in paperback version is timely,
as the race for the Moon is renewed.
... As the Moon is seen from all parts of the world... - By: Arthur, 26 Apr 2006 Regards from Russia. Great book for everyone! It gives not only the knowledge of how to photograph the Moon, but also attracts with its high quality photos that are available aplenty in the book. Photos are so detailed that could be used for deep investigation of the Moon. The manner of writing makes the book easy to read. As the Moon is seen from alll parts of the world ;;))may be it would be good idea to translate the book to other languages.
Excellent introduction to astrophotography - By: Mr. M. R. Mcroberts, 19 Apr 2006 This book is an excellent introduction to astrophotography & shows just what amazing astro images you can take with very simple & cheap equipment. The author's own images of the moon are stunning & have alll been taken with modest equipment. Step by step he shows you how to use standard digital cameras to take amazing images yourself. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to take astro images on a shoestring.
...excellent and very interesting book... - By: Elena Klaos, 06 Apr 2006 I live in Estonia & have just purchased this excellent & very interesting book. The author fascinatingly & simply introduces, step by step, a technique for photographing the Moon with a normal digital camera. The hundreds of pictures shown are wonderful & I hope to be able to use this technique to obtain the pictures for myself. I will now be buying this amazing book for my friends, as gifts, to encourage them also to take detailed photographs with their normal camera. This is a book for anyone, not just astronomers
