He is amongst the greatest astrophotographers of our time, and he shares his incredible wealth of experience and knowledge in a format that provides the reader various ways to skip around to a particular area of interest or simply to rewind and replay an important technique. I myself use a multiple monitor set up on my computer and have found Adam's DVD'd an invaluable aid in my own astronomical processing, I watch the DVD techniques he sares on one of my monitors while trying to follow along with him using my own software on the other monitor. Adam has a very natural and easy going way of explaining things from the easiest subjects to the most esoteric ones. I was privileged to enjoy two nights shooting and processing with Adam while he was working at Kitt Peak observatory in Arizona, but having these DVD'd means I'll never forget certain techniques he employees to make his beautiful astronomy images. I have learned far more from this series of DVD's than all the books and magazines I purchased in the past, (and believe me I have quite a large library)! There is now a fourth volume available in the series, this one covers CCDStack software by CCDware, a much more advanced volume than the previous three volumes. I highly recommend that every astrophotographer add these tools to their reference library immediately, you'll wonder how you did without them for so long. Great job Adam, and I hope you keep coming out with more volumes. Thank you for sharing your unique and incredible talent with the rest of us!
