Using the world's most sophisticated telescopes and his own revolutionary techniques, renowned astronomical photographer David Malin brings us awe-inspiring images of distant worlds and amazing phenomena. This is the finest collection available of star clusters, galaxies, nebulae and other such spectacular sights captured on film. The pictures are made from a series of delicate yet rich platinum prints and will delight anyone intrigued by the night sky. The book will be released in 2009, marking UNESCO's International Year of Astronomy.
