Product Description
Review
[Covington] writes clearly and the text is presented in an orderly manner, so that the reader is unlikely to become confused. Times Higher Education Supplement
Product Description
How to Use a Computerized Telescope is the first handbook that describes how to get your computerized telescope up and running, and how to embark on a program of observation. It explains in detail how the sky moves, how your telescope tracks it, and how to get the most out of any computerized telescope. Packed full of practical advice and tips for troubleshooting, it translates the manufacturers technical jargon into easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, and includes many of the authors tried and tested observing techniques. Early chapters explain how to test your telescopes optics, choose eyepieces and accessories, and diagnose operational problems. The second half of the book then gives detailed instructions for three classic telescopes: the Meade LX200, Celestron NexStar 5 and 8, and Meade Autostar (ETX and LX90). Concentrating mainly on telescope operation and troubleshooting, it is the ideal companion to Celestial Objects for Modern Telescopes, also by Michael Covington.
