Product Description
Celestron’s NexStar telescopes were introduced in 1999, beginning with their first computer controlled "go to” model, a 5-inch. More models appeared in quick succession, and Celestron’s new range made it one of the two dominant manufacturers of affordable "go to” telescopes. Michael Swanson’s online discussions with literally thousands of NexStar owners made it clear that there was a desperate need for a book such as this - one that provides a complete, detailed guide to buying, using and maintaining NexStar telescopes. Although this book is highly comprehensive, it is suitable for beginners - there is a chapter on "Astronomy Basics” - and experts alike. |

NexStar bible 
A terrific resource jock full of insights on the NexStar line of scopes. Some of the material not exactly applies to my scope (NextStar 8 SE), e.g., no need to align scope per book's somewhat tortuous guidance, as the manual with the scope is straightforward. Still a worthwhile purchase especially for first time scope owner and book has many useful web source references.

The NexStar User's Guide 
An excellent book because of the care and thoroughness with which it was written. However, so many new products and improved models have been developed since the book was written, I only gave it an average rating. Otherwise, I would rate it with all five stars.

The NexStar User's Guide
The volume has tons of need to know information about Celestron NexStar Telescopes as well as general astronomy issues. Hopefully though the publisher will encourage and provide support for an un updated version that I will purchase with each new update.

Excellent book. Gives great advice on key elements for using this scope. Helped a lot in understanding how to select appropriate eyepieces. This will be a book i will come back to frequently.
