Due to high demand, Alyn’s book, Photographing The Night Sky 1st Edition sold out in April 2024. Over the last month before Alyn suddenly passed away, he worked on corrections for a reprint.
This 2nd Edition of Photographing the Night Sky is now in stock. There are softbacks and a limited run of hardbacks available. This is now a Memorial Edition with a new cover (featuring Alyn) and several pages devoted to Alyn.
