Book Reviews of The NexStar User's Guide
Book Review: really good book for nexstar owners!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am from Holland and I love this book. I own a nexstar se 5 and could not find so much technical information or user's tips about this scope on the internet. The user's guide deliverd with the scope isn't so good. So when I bought this book I was happy to get so much useful information about how to use my nexstar and all the things you can do with it. The user's tips are great and after reading this book you know that using a go- to -telescope isn't so easy as being advertised. This book gives you the answers you need to really enjoy your nexstar instead of getting frustrated and losing the motivation to use it. This book inspires you to try different thing with your nexstar and is honest about the accesoires that you can buy next to your type of nexstar ( such as eyepieces, filters, telrad, focal reducer, etc ) that are really useful.
Just read the book and find out for Review: Invaluable companion for "Little NexStar" users
Summary: 5 Stars I recently purchased a NexStar 130 SLT telescope and NexImage CCD imager to progress fifty years of armchair interest in amateur astronomy toward observing the southern skies more effectively from rural Australia. Before buying, I had downloaded the Celestron manual for this scope, and thought that would be enough. Wrong! I rapidly discovered that I had to know more to get anywhere. This book arrived within ten days of ordering it from Amazon. It is magnificent, like having a friendly, patient yet enthusiastic, expert on hand to guide me. Published in 2004 (2nd printing 2005), it doesn't have the NexStar 130 in, but since the only difference from the NexStar 114 which is included is aperture, that's not a problem. Very highly recommended.
Book Review: The NexStar's User's Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Swanson has put together, not only a one of a kind book but an amazing guide to help both the beginner and advanced amateur astronomer in the art of using Celestron NexStar telescopes. I strongly believe that, with no insult intended to Celestron, Mr. Swanson's guide continues where the telescope instruction manual left off.
His book is a vast library of information that is not only helpful and interesting to read, but important in the sucessful use of the Celestron NexStar telescopes and the enjoyment of astronomy.
The guide gives you easy to read facts and easy to follow directions.
I recommend this guide to every Celestron NexStar telescope owner, old or new.
You will not be disappointed.
Book Review: Must Have for all Nexstar Users
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have for all Celestron Nexstar owners. The book is very well written, including plain English descriptions of many astronomy terms and concepts. The book covers a lot, and includes information for all models. Its an excellent reference guide and provides a very complete set of instructions for many of the difficulties that a user is likely to encounter while using their scope. It looks like a lot of research went into writing it, and has the potential of saving the reader hours and hours of time researching how to get the most out of their telescope.Book Review: Indispensable!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking to use a Celestron Nexstar computer guided GOTO telescope and mount, then this book will take you through every stage of setup, operation and maintenance, in a very user-friendly and readable manner. For the novice astronomer, the first chapter provides a thorough 40-page introduction on basic observational astronomy. Additional elements include chapters on astronomical software, connecting a PC, photography and planning your observations. In short, very highly recommended.
