Book Review: out of date
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this with NexStar 6SE which is not covered in the book. I know most of the contents still applies to mine. However, you can find most of the information from internet, as the book says. It's time for the author to revise it to make the 2nd edition.
Summary of The NexStar User's Guide
Celestron's NexStar telescopes were introduced in 1999, beginning with their first computer controlled "go to" model, a 5-inch. More models appeared in quick succession, and Celestron's new range made it one of the two dominant manufacturers of affordable "go to" telescopes. Michael Swanson's online discussions with literally thousands of NexStar owners made it clear that there was a desperate need for a book such as this - one that provides a complete, detailed guide to buying, using and maintaining NexStar telescopes. Although this book is highly comprehensive, it is suitable for beginners - there is a chapter on "Astronomy Basics" - and experts alike.Astronomy Books
