Lunar and Planetary Webcam User's Guide review

I have been using a webcam for years to image the planets. This book helped me go to the next level.

Webcam Planetary Imaging

This is an outstanding reference for you astronomy buffs who use webcams and RegiStax for planetary imaging. Mobberley's book is also sprinkled with all sorts of observations, like living in the Low Country on the coast can sometimes be an advatage for observing. This is not intuitive.
