A User's Guide to the Meade LXD55 and LXD75 Telescopes (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book offers a comprehensive introductory guide to "choosing and using" a series LXD55 or LXD75 computer-controlled ("goto") telescope. It contains a wealth of useful information for both beginners and more advanced practical amateur astronomers. The book also presents advanced techniques for more experienced LXD series users. There is a large user-base of LXD series telescopes around the world, as yet no comprehensive guide commercially is available for users to fully come to grips with using them. The manufacturer's manuals are not nearly detailed enough to be of real help to beginners, and they lack advanced technical tips and user information to help the experienced astronomer get the best out of these instruments. This book is crafted to fill those needs.

Rezensionen

"Good news for all those who have found their Meade telescope just a tiny bit unfriendly. Tame the beast with this excellent book by our friend Martin Peston." (Brian May, banguniverse.com)

"Many readers of my book Using the Meade ETX have told me that they keep the book handy when using their ETX telescope. I suspect that many LXD telescope users will keep A User's Guide to the Meade LXD55 and LXD75 Telescopes on hand as well. While no book will cover every topic or detail that the author wants to or should include, this book, in its 250 pages, has many techniques and tips that any level of LXD user will find valuable. I can heartily recommend this book to all LXD telescope users." (Mike Weasner, author of Using the Meade ETX, weasner.com)
