Choosing and Using a New CAT : Getting the Most from Your Schmidt Cassegrain or Any Catadioptric Telescope Paperback / softback
by Rod Mollise
Part of the The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Choosing and Using the New CAT will supersede the author's successful Choosing and Using a Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope, which has enjoyed enthusiastic support from the amateur astronomy community for the past seven years. Since the first book was published, a lot has changed in the technology of amateur astronomy.
The sophistication and variety of the telescopes available to amateurs has increased dramatically.
Computerized SCTs, Maksutov-Cassegrains, and most recently Meade's new and acclaimed Ritchey-Chretiens have come to dominate the market.
That means that all amateurs considering the purchase of a new telescope (not only a SCT, and not just beginners) will benefit from this detailed guide.
Choosing the right telescope for particular kinds of observation (or even for general work) is far from easy - but Rod Mollise gives invaluable advice and guidance.
