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-Chretiens 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."
