Having discovered an unknown passion for astronomy in college, L. A. Kennedy has been an avid amateur astronomer and astro-imager ever since. In addition to writing his book, he is very active in sharing his knowledge and passion for astrophotography with interested people at schools, colleges, and in private settings. He currently lives and images under the light-polluted skies of southeastern Michigan. Kennedy is a purchasing and supply-chain management professional by trade, with years of experience in several industries. He has a proven ability to find ways to save both time and money in any situation. Applying this ability to the field of astrophotography has allowed amateur astronomers across the globe to benefit from his insights into more efficient and cost-effective astronomical imaging techniques. Kennedy has been using one-shot color imaging equipment since the earliest one-shot color charge-coupled devices (CCD's) became available to the general public. For many years he has been displaying high-quality, color images of deep-space objects for friends and family on his personal website. Through his business website, www.digitalspaceimages.com, he has published and sold his astrophotography images all over the world.

From the book reviews: "The book contains lots of good advice and tips for any imager - even if you have a mono CCD camera. This is a great book for imaging as it takes through all the steps required in order to generate pleasing images. One Shot Colour Astronomical Imaging is thoroughly recommended if you want a good overview of how to get into imaging no matter whether you have a mono or colour camera." (astronomylog.co.uk, July, 2014) "There is a way to save time by using a so-called one-shot color CCD camera ... . This book is about using such a camera, the equipment needed, the set-up for imaging, some tips and suggestions ... it is an important guide to getting started with this kind of equipment. The book would also be of interest to those astrophotographers who are just getting started in the field ... . Very useful and concise, and also inspirational."
