Title A User's Guide to the Meade LXD55 and LXD75 Telescopes Author(s) Peston, Martin Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. Description XIV, 256 p. 110 illus : online resource Abstract Note This is a fully comprehensive guide to "choosing and using" the LXD55 / 75 computer-controlled ??? "go to" ??? series of telescopes. It is intended both for beginners and more advanced practical amateur astronomers. The LXD series of telescopes is unusual in having German Equatorial Mounts ??? GEMs ??? rather than the more common altazimuth design. Although setting up a GEM with a go-to system is more involved than setting up the equivalent altazimuth mount, there are many advantages in the system, including zero field rotation. A User???s Guide to the Meade LXD55 and LXD75 Telescopes contains a wealth of information on setting up, using and maintaining the telescope, along with lots of hints, tips, and tricks for getting the very best out of it. Coverage in advanced techniques for experienced astronomers and LXD users include imaging, interfacing with a PC or laptop, using available accessories, and troubleshooting ISBN,Price 9780387682648 Keyword(s) 1.
