Author Neale Monks sees real potential in computer controlled telescopes. He wants his readers to put their home computers to use for astronomy and get involved in the online astronomy scene.



Monks also does an extensive survey and review of the software that is available for home astronomy use. A 3 page table compares 20 different software packages. Monks also concludes that there is not any single best operating system for home comp/astronomy.



Monks also has a lengthy discussion of what to look for in buying and using a comp-ready telescope.



This is a very good book.
