In a world where an amateur astronomy habit can easily run into the many thousands of dollars, it is still possible for practitioners to get high-quality results and equipment on a budget by utilizing DIY techniques. Surprisingly, it's not that hard to modify existing equipment to get new and improved usability from older or outdated technology, creating an end result that can outshine the pricey higher-end tools. All it takes is some elbow grease, a creative and open mind and the help of Chung's hard-won knowledge on building and modifying telescopes and cameras. With this book, it is possible for readers to improve their craft, making their equipment more user friendly. The tools are at hand, and the advice on how to do it is here. Readers will discover a comprehensive presentation of astronomical projects that any amateur on any budget can replicate ? projects that utilize leading edge technology and techniques sure to invigorate the experts and elevate the less experienced. As the "maker" community continues to expand, it has wonderful things to offer amateur astronomers with a willingness to get their hands dirty. Tweaking observing and imaging equipment so that it serves a custom purpose can take your observing options to the next level, while being fun to boot. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aElectronics 606 $aMicroelectronics 606 $aPhotography 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24027 606 $aPhotography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/418000 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aElectronics. 615 0$aMicroelectronics. 615 0$aPhotography. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation. 615 24$aPhotography. 676 $a520 700 $aChung$b Jim$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300402503321 996 $aAstro-Imaging Projects for Amateur Astronomers$91771468 997 $aUNINA
