CCD and Film Images of our Universe
Order Steve Mandel's New Book:
Light in the Sky
Available mid-November
Hardcover - 120 pages - $54.95
Photographing astronomical objects in the sky is one of the most difficult, and rewarding, types of photography. For me, the rewards are great and my passion for astronomy easily carries me through the many obstacles to getting such images. The excitement I experience on seeing something that I have not seen before, like the intricate structure of a supernovae remnant, planetary nebula or galaxy is a tremendous thrill. Seeing deeply into our universe is a wonderful experience and I hope my web site will give you a small taste of the beauty and mystery of it all.
