Springer. 2020
That’s where this book comes in. The 2009 edition has remained the standard reference for mastering these popular instruments. This second edition brings the content fully up to date, with several extensively revised chapters covering the most recent developments in telescope and camera equipment as well as computer software.
Through the author’s 45 years of experience with CATS, readers will learn to decide which telescope is right for them, to choose a specific make and model, and finally, how to use it in the field. Also covered are: Solar System and deep-sky observations; astrophotography and computer control of CATS; and troubleshooting and maintaining your equipment.
If you dream of owning a telescope or are frustrated by the one you already own, this is the book for you!
