2009 is the Year of Astronomy and is a wonderful occasion to work with the world's foremost astronomical photographer, David Malin. Malin invented new ways of capturing the unseen universe and anchient light onto photographic plates, which lead to the discovery of two new types of galaxies. Working with the world's most sophisticated telescopes and his own revolutionary techniques, David Malin captures distant worlds and truly amazing phenomena. The photographs of the night sky are astonishing, mysterious and awe inspiring. This is the finest collection of photographs of star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae -- all reproduced in a well known series of delicate and rich platinum prints. The book would feature the entire platinum collection in an elegant and simple format. Rather than provide scientific texts for learning about space, this book will showcase the beauty of the images. A short poetic text will introduce the photographs. I also think this title would work well as a Collector's Edition with a print. This lavishly illustrated photographic exploration of the universe will delight everyone intrigued by the night sky.
