It contains a wealth of useful information for both beginners and more advanced practical amateur astronomers. The book also presents advanced techniques for more experienced LXD series users. There is a large user-base of LXD series telescopes around the world, as yet no comprehensive guide commercially is available for users to fully come to grips with using them. The manufacturer's manuals are not nearly detailed enough to be of real help to beginners, and they lack advanced technical tips and user information to help the experienced astronomer get the best out of these instruments. This book is crafted to fill those needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a fully comprehensive guide to \"choosing and using\" the LXD55 \/ 75 computer-controlled - \"go to\" - series of telescopes.
