The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing

The standard reference on the mathematics behind astronomical imaging. Covers CCD signal and noise, bias/dark/flat calibration, image registration and stacking, deconvolution, photometry, and astrometry — the theory that every modern stacking package implements. Ships with the AIP4Win software. Dense and technical, and still the book imagers reach for when they need to know why a processing step works.
