So You Want a Meade LX Telescope! by Lawrence Harris

Computers and Astronomy Perhaps every generation of astronomers believes that their telescopes are the best that have ever been. Unless you are already familiar with astronomy and basic telescopes, it is not wise to start spending large amounts of money on a we- featured telescope.

From the reviews:

“This book is a lot more than the main title suggests since it helps a prospective telescope purchaser select and use the LX200 and other Meade models… This is an ideal book for those already owning a Meade telescope and especially as a stimulus to get existing telescopes out of mothballs and back into use. … the book majors on the Meade LX range it will be of value to other GOTO-telescope users. I will be referring to my copy on a regular basis.” (Tom Boles, The Observatory, Vol. 131 (1220), February, 2011)

Lawrence Harris retired from his job as a British government scientist where he had worked as a professional astronomer in solar studies and then astronomical satellite operations. For the last seventeen years he has been a columnist, specializing in writing about weather satellites, along with occasional articles on astronomy. He also contributes to astronomical society magazines.
