| Title | Astronomy with a Home Computer |
| Author(s) | Monks, Neale |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2005. |
| Description | VII, 202 p. 87 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Here is a one-volume guide to just about everything computer-related for amateur astronomers! Today???s amateur astronomy is inextricably linked to personal computers. Computer-controlled "go-to" telescopes are inexpensive. CCD and webcam imaging make intensive use of the technology for capturing and processing images. Planetarium software provides information and an easy interface for telescopes. The Internet offers links to other astronomers, information, and software. The list goes on and on. Find out here how to choose the best planetarium program: are commercial versions really better than freeware? Learn how to optimise a go-to telescope, or connect it to a lap-top. Discover how to choose the best webcam and use it with your telescope. Create a mosaic of the Moon, or high-resolution images of the planets... Astronomy with a Home Computer is designed for every amateur astronomer who owns a home computer, whether it is running Microsoft Windows, Mac O/S or Linux. It doesn???t matter what kind of telescope you own either - a small refractor is just as useful as a big "go-to" SCT for most of the projects in this book |

| Title | Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies |
| Author(s) | Monks, Neale |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2010. |
| Description | XXI, 260 p. 103 illus., 3 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | For the last four centuries stargazers have turned their telescopes to the night skies to look at its wonders, but only in this age of computers has it become possible to let the telescope find for you the object you are looking for! So-called ???go-to??? telescopes are programmed with the locations of thousands of objects, including dazzling distant Suns, stunning neighboring galaxies, globular and open star clusters, the remnants of past supernovae, and many other breathtaking sights. This book does not tell you how to use your Go-to telescope. Your manual will help you do that. It tells you what to look for in the deep sky and why, and what equipment to best see it with. Organized broadly by what is best for viewing in the northern hemisphere in different seasons, Monks further divides the sights of each season into groupings such as ???Showpiece Objects,??? ???Interesting Deep Sky Objects,??? and ???Obscure and Challenging Deep Sky Objects.??? He also tells what objects are visible even in light-polluted skies. So armed with your go-to telescope, find an ideal viewing site or set up your telescope in your own backyard. Either way, you???re in for some fun! |
