If you have recently purchased a Nexstar telescope (or have otherwise come into possession of one) the information and guides on this site would prove invaluable in your quest to quickly mount the learning curve in the operation of the device. No longer is the pursuit of amateur astronomy simply the peering through the telescope as the primary or sole aid in the observation of the night sky. Most telescopes now come with features to allow you to improve your viewing via some form of integration with the computer and Internet. From this site you can access links to 'PC Control of NexStar Telescopes' and 'Odds and Ends' which provide information about the various ports and connectors on some scopes which can be connected to a PC or PDA.
