The original NexStar User's Guide has remained very popular among the NexStar owner community. This updated edition has been completely rewritten to cover all current Celestron altitude-azimuth computerized telescopes (German EQ mounts are not discussed). Detailed information on the alignment and operation of these ?scopes provides a complete reference that expands greatly upon the manuals provided by Celestron. It also serves as a guide to buying the most suitable model for a variety of budgets and interests. Connecting and controlling the telescope with PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones is covered in great detail. A chapter is dedicated to updating the firmware in the hand control, mount, and StarSense camera (an optional accessory). Chapters on accessories, collimation, maintenance, and troubleshooting tips round out the book?s extensive coverage of the subject matter. Additionally, the book offers a brief, though complete, introduction to amateur astronomy, making it an ideal source for both the beginner astronomer as well as the seasoned veteran looking to get the most out of a new telescope. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a522.2 700 $aSwanson$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0825050 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254584103321 996 $aThe NexStar User?s Guide II$92222480 997 $aUNINA
