Book Reviews of The NexStar User's Guide
Book Review: NexStar bible
Summary: 4 Stars
A terrific resource jock full of insights on the NexStar line of scopes. Some of the material not exactly applies to my scope (NextStar 8 SE), e.g., no need to align scope per book's somewhat tortuous guidance, as the manual with the scope is straightforward. Still a worthwhile purchase especially for first time scope owner and book has many useful web source references.
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
