About The Really.. The latest on safely adjusting, cleaning, and maintaining your equipment is combined with thoroughly updated methods from the old masters

Looking after an astronomical telescope isnât only for the experts - although there are some things that only an expert should attempt - and every serious amateur astronomer will find invaluable information here, gleaned from Barlow Pepin's many yearsâ experience working with optical instruments. This book is for you. Here is a complete guide for anyone who wants to understand more than just the basics of astronomical telescopes and accessories, and how to maintain them in the peak of condition. Here, too, are details of choosing new and used optics and accessories, along with enhancements you can make to extend their versatility and useful lifetime. When a good-quality telescope fails to perform as well as it might, the reason is quite probably that it needs a little care and attention! The latest on safely adjusting, cleaning, and maintaining your equipment is combined with thoroughly updated methods from the old masters. Commercially-made astronomical telescopes are better and less expensive than ever before, and their optical and mechanical performance can be superb. Really.

Once the artwork was finished, the shaman reappeared at the cave entrance; he held out his arms wide to the slowly brightening morning skies and announced that the pow- ful magic of the new star had been captured and could now be used to ensure the continuing prosperity of his tribe.

The new starâs steady white light penetrated deep into the sacred cave, illuminating an age-old patchwork of intricately drawn pictographs; some of these depicted terrestrial objects and events, from mundane sketches of bison to vast and sweeping panoramic images of wild galloping horses. Dazzling to look at, this unexpected intruder in the heavenly vault gave off a light that almost rivaled that of the full Moon, drowning out the familiar patterns of stars with its glare. Other scenes showed celestial phenomena, such as the phases of the Moon and prominent asterisms, or star patterns.

Apart from that all the reader will need is access to a computer, the know-how to download free software, and an enthusiasm to expand his knowledge of the basis of scientific astronomy.

This is an enriching experience for any amateur astronomer - to understand and personally measure some fundamental astronomical quantities and distances.Instead of taking somebody's word for it about the basic size and distance statistics for the solar system, this book shows amateur astronomers how to measure these things for themselves.

Fortunately, modern technologies such as computer-controlled telescopes, GPS, north-seeking and level detection, have made telescope set-up much quicker.

A full-time career usually takes up most waking hours, and often there simply isnât time for leisurely observing. Todayâs imaging systems enable astronomers to take excellent astrophotographs without the hours-long exposures.
