Charge-coupled Devices (CCDs) have revolutionised astronomy. Even affordable CCD cameras can be ten times a sensitive as photographic film, and they deliver a digitised image that is easy to enhance using a personal computer. David Ratledge has brought together contributions from twelve leading amateurs from around the world, people who are routinely producing astronomical images of a quality that rivals those of professional observatories only of 10 years ago. These experts describe their techniques and solutions, and offer essential tips and advice for anyone who is choosing or using a CCD camera. Now glance through the Colour Gallery at the back of this book to see just what they have done!

Art and Science of Ccd Astronomy
I may be unfairly biased against this book because it wasn't relevant to my specific project, but I was far enough into it that I had to finish reading.
This is a good book. It's important to talk about critical thinking in technology, because it's so easy to see technology as increasingly "invisible" as media become more widespread. When Warnick was writing, and in the time of the cases she was studying, technology was still about the elite. The Internet was more about science and math nerds than it was online shopping, watching Hulu, and blogs, blogs, blogs. The Internet was still about the specialist. Now that we're all on board, the need for critical literacy is far greater to keep us from joining the cheerleading team.
MVQ (most valuable quote): "A rhetorical middle course much be steered between uncritical enthusiams for the new technologies and bleak rejection of them. Uncritical enthusaismm encourages unthinking acceptance, whereas bleak rejection paints a picture that is doomed to be rejected by the public. Intelligent discussion of issues related to Internet policy is what is needed" (125).
