Including the
new SkyView Pro mount modification video

It seems that every new amateur astronomer on a budget goes on a similar journey. It's a hobby that includes so much information and so many choices, that it can be frustrating, confusing and sometimes overwhelming.

It is my goal to help amateur astronomers get the most for their money and get the most out of their affordable telescopes, so I have assembled a collection of video tutorials and articles on CD-ROM, including:

  • 7 "Must-Haves" for Beginners
  • Collimating a Newtonian Telescope
  • Drift Alignment Made Easy
  • Focusing for Astrophotography
  • Fine Focusing for General Observation
  • Magnification Calculator
  • Worm Gear Enhancements
  • Solar Observation
  • Refractor or Reflector: The $800 Question

This CD includes my new SkyView Pro modifications video.
My online article, SkyView Pro Modifications, has generated so much feedback and requests for more information, that on this CD, I've included a video that shows the process in fine detail. Using closeup demonstrations, I guide you through each step with much more expanded explanations than are included in the online version. You'll see every bolt, every washer, explained. The easy-to-follow instructions on this CD will give you the confidence you need to modify your Skyview Pro so that it operates more like the expensive mounts, and as a result, improve the quality of your astrophotos. Price: $12.95 in the Web Store.


PRINT ARTICLE: I've gotten many requests for a printable version of the original SkyView Pro modifications article, so I have created a PDF version that I will email to those who are interested. I would love to give it away, but I'm trying to recover some of the cost of running and maintaining this website. Price: $2.20 in the Web Store.
