I'm a great fan of the New CCD astronomy. I've read the preview chapter of the zone system and it makes a lot of sense to me and I need to work on my processing skills - but the "zone system" book isn't cheap ($100 = £55 delivered). I also wonder if it's anything that isn't found elsewhere. -------------------- Astro-Physics 130EDT StarFire, 80ED (x2), 305mm f/5 dob, VLT Astro-Physics 1200GTO, evolved HEQ5/pro Coronado SM60/BF10, 3-6 Nagler zoom, 8 & 13 Ethos, 28UWAN Post Extras:       yg1968 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 01/26/04 Posts: 1755 Re: Zone System for Astro Imaging - worth it?

Given the fact that it contains a DVD with tutorials, you essentially get 2 products: the tutorials and the book. The sample chapters give you an idea of what the book is like. I haven't finished reading it. But so far, I like it. Sky & Telescope has named it a 2007 Hot Product.
