From the reviews: "This book is a collection of very-high-quality, full-page, true-full-color photographs of deep-sky objects, as beautiful as images produced by space telescopes. It illustrates what can be done by amateur astronomers using commercially available telescopes and cameras and features many deep-sky objects rarely imaged by the major space telescopes. ... this title was written for armchair astronomers and general science readers." (Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin, 2009) "You would not be disappointed. In one sense, this is a coffee-table book, full of beautiful pictures ... . But when you start to read the text you will begin to discover how remarkable these pictures really are - they were all taken from a back garden in the New Forest by an (admittedly very dedicated) amateur astrophotographer ... . The full-colour images are extremely impressive ... . The commentaries are well-written, generally accurate ... . Altogether, this is a book to savour - highly recommended." (Robert Connon Smith, The Observatory, Vol. 129 (1213), December, 2009) Aus den Rezensionen: "Dieses Buch entstand als Kooperation von zwei ausserordentlich talentierten Amateur-Astronomen. Greg Parker machte diese herrlichen Weitwinkel-Aufnahmen von Deep-Sky-Objekten in England, wahrend Noel Carboni diese in den USA meisterhaft nachbearbeitete. ... Zusatzlich sind diese Weitwinkel-Aufnahmen einfach schon, wahrend die grossen Teleskope sich auf die Forschung konzentrieren, nicht auf asthetische Bilder. ... Ein prachtvolles Werk, das so richtig zum Schmokern einladt ..." (in: Weltraum Facts, 2008, Vol. 15, Issue 4, S. 24)
