Photographing the Night Sky Book by Alyn Wallace
Photographing the Night Sky Book by Alyn Wallace
Due to high demand, Alyn’s book, Photographing The Night Sky has sold out. Over the last month before Alyn passed away, he worked on corrections for a reprint.
This reprint has been sent to the printers and is due back in June. There will be softbacks and a limited run of hardbacks available. This is now a memorial edition with a page devoted to Alyn.
If you ordered a book from Thursday 28th March to Monday 8th April 2024, we are currently shipping these orders out. However Alyn’s estate has only just got access to his website and we ran out of the books sometime last week.
We will be in touch as regards to orders we can’t fulfil at this time. You can either have a refund, or your book will be sent out when the reprint arrives in June.

📦 Shipping Costs 📦
This 570-page monster of a book is so heavy that international shipping rates are currently on the expensive side. I’m afraid there is no eBook version available. We are working on a new eBook, “Alyn Wallace’s Field Guide to Landscape Astrophotography”, which will be available in 2024.

🔭 CRASH COURSE IN ASTRONOMY
To help you get the most out of a night under the stars you will also learn basic astronomy. Learn about the motion of the stars, where to find the planets and the best time of year to capture the Milky Way. You’ll also unlock the secrets to twilight photography and familiarise yourself with the seasonal aspect of the night sky.
🌌 NIGHT SKY WONDERS YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED
Learn all about capturing the Milky Way, aurora, meteor showers, solar and lunar eclipses, comets, lightning and so much more. Did you know that the Moon can also produce rainbows at night? Have you ever seen a lunar halo? There’s also plenty of night sky phenomena that you probably didn’t even know existed such as red sprites, blue jets and the green flash.
🌃 TAKE YOUR IMAGES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Learn about the post-processing techniques that can drastically improve your image quality by removing noise, unveiling detail and increasing resolution. Once you’ve learned how to capture the best images, it’s then up to you to add your personal touch with the processing techniques in this book.
🧭 PLAN WITH PRECISION
This book offers an in-depth look into how to use apps to help you plan a night under the stars and capture the perfect image. Combined with the astronomy knowledge you will obtain, you can head out into the night super prepared, rather than fumbling around in the dark.
