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.
