A revolution in amateur astronomy has occurred in the past decade with the wide availability of high tech, computer-driven, Go-To telescopes. Vixen Optics is leading the way by offering the Star Book Ten system, with its unique star map graphics software. The Star Book Ten is the latest version of computer telescope control using star map graphics as a user interface, first introduced in the original Star Book first offered in 2003. The increasingly complicated nature of this software means that learning to optimize this program is not straightforward, and yet the resulting views when all features are correctly deployed can be phenomenal. After a short history of computerized Go-To telescopes for the consumer amateur astronomer market, Chen offers a treasury of technical information. His advice, tips, and solutions aid the user in getting the most out of the Star Book Ten system in observing sessions. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy$xObservations 606 $aSoftware engineering 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 606 $aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy$xObservations. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems. 676 $a520 700 $aChen$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0978696 702 $aChen$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254613103321 996 $aThe Vixen Star Book User Guide$92528320 997 $aUNINA
