Shining with a striking assembly of astronomy-centric imagery, a new Kickstarter campaign from artist Daniel Stephen Homer hopes to create what's being described as the world's first photobook exploring the deep global collaborations between amateur and professional astronomers.

This limited edition project, titled "Route de la Belle Etoile" (Route of the Beautiful Star), highlights the myriad accomplishments in the field of astronomy by amateur astronomers, weekend astrophotographers and backyard stargazers. It's an ambitious crowd-funded effort showcasing gorgeous black-and-white photographs of amateur astronomers and their observatories in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, India, Australia and Canada.
