Choosing and Using the New CAT will supercede 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-Chrétiens 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. Today s commercially-made astronomical telescopes are more complex than ever and a new owner will swiftly discover that the manuals shipped with these telescopes leave much to be desired. Further guidance is a must. Choosing and Using the New CAT provides the missing information in a friendly but authoritative fashion including imaging the solar system and deep space with the CCD cameras video and webcams that have almost completely supplanted film cameras.
