One of my projects is to use this blog as a vehicle to “pre-publish” the pages for what I call “Coffee Table Nightscapes”. I’ve been reviewing the night sky pictures and astrophotos that I have taken over the last few decades, selecting my favorites, annotating them, and preparing them to be published as a photo book.
They begin with pictures of comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, include many from my Nightscape Odyssey taken in 2001, and continue through the various other opportunities I have had to take pictures of the night sky in interesting places.
Well, Coffee Table Nightscapes has now been (self) published! You can enjoy it in several ways:
You can select the Coffee Table Nightscapes blog category link, which will present a listing of all the posts I have made for this project, most recent first, then going back chronologically to the earliest, which results in a random arrangement of subjects.
Or, you can browse the index links below that bring some order to the collection. The links will take you to the corresponding blog entry. The (bold) category links will take you to that section of my photo gallery at smugmug.
Or, you can download a pdf file of the book and view it in a browser tab or a pdf reader.
Or, you can order a copy of the hardcover book, which you can display on your coffee table!
