PIXINSIGHT BOOK?!

[fkloer]

Warren -
Do you think you'll be attending SCAE this year? It would be good to see you - and maybe get an autographed version if it's complete by then?
Regards,
Frank Kloer

Not possible Frank, but we'll get you that autograph at some point.

Is there much if any difference in the layout between the printed and the eBook versions? The eBook version would be so much easier to use on either a second screen or a tablet.

Thanks for all the hard work and the Springer page is bookmarked.

Mike, I think the e version will be identical. And, while a hard copy is always nice- I agree. Due to the small physical size of the Springer/Moore series, figures will be on the small side, and lacking a spiral binding will make it hard to work directly from the softcover version. With a PDF, etc. version- you can enlarge it and move it around for optimal convenience!

Hi all, as many of you know, 'Inside PixInsight' the book is scheduled to be published on 7-13-16. While the softcover version is available for pre-order from Amazon-

I have a set of your videos Warren so I knew your book would be a great investment. I have preordered a copy on Amazon but they say it has not yet been released. Any updates on when it will be?

Thanks!

Hi Jeff, Rob, et. al., i just checked Springer's page after seeing this- I couldn't find the date? A quick update from my POV- Springer's printer, SPi Global in India and I have been trading proofs for the last few weeks. My first review went back with over 750 comments, which were resolved down to 150, and as of last week, just 30. The outstanding issue at this point is the brightness level of several of the b+w figures. While the original proof faithfully matched mine, subsequent updates were either much too dark, or too light. Not good for a book on astro-imaging (think galaxy cores literally clipped)! Springer NYC got back involved, sending a firm email on Friday to SPi to get their act together. Fingers crossed, they'll nail it next round, and we can go to print! Just trying for the best it can be. Thank you very much for your interest!

Hi Warren
You need to go to the pull-down menu at "softcover" on the right of the screen.
I'm looking forward to the book.  I've had my order in for quite a while.

[Warhen]

Yes, Thanks Geoff I saw it today. Again, if they nail everything in the proof I should back get this week, they can release the ebook version and go to print!

Quick update on Inside PixInsight by Springer. Last Saturday 8/13/2016, I gave the printer, SPi Global the thumbs up to begin the publication and printing process. It won't be too much longer now. I had a very tough time with them trying to get the brightness levels of the black and white figures correct. They now look good in both the online version and the print version. I'll update you as soon as I get a more specific timeline. Thanks for your patience!
