I am an engineer and like to solve problems. I also like Astronomy. Like I say in my second book, this is not a book about Astronomy though. There are many good books about beginning Astronomy and learning the night sky. This book is about common problems you may run into when starting Astronomy with a new telescope. It specifically addresses some items you may run into when setting up and using a Celestron NexStar 8se telescope, which is a great telescope for pursuing Astronomy. Some items covered for the Celestron NexStar 8se telescope also apply to other Celestron telescope models. This is not intended to be a replacement for your manual. Be sure to follow the manual as much as possible. This book contains helpful information that is not detailed in the manual that will hopefully save you some time and frustration. The format of this book is simple. It contains a list of questions with a discussion of how to resolve the problem at hand.
