Finding My Way to the Stars
Mike Weasner is a noted amateur astronomer. He was born and raised in southern Indiana, where his love of astronomy began. His journey through life may have started there, but there were many jumps onto other paths. During this journey Mike received an Astrophysics degree, was a jet fighter pilot and fighter instructor pilot, manager on the Air Force Space Shuttle Program, and computer engineer and manager in multiple roles at a large aerospace company. Readers will experience his loves of people, astronomy, music, flying, computers, and teaching, along with life changing decisions, twists and turns, ups and downs, challenges, failures, and successes. Readers can use the autobiography as a guide to their own journey, regardless of whether they are just starting out on that journey, are trying to decide among the multiple paths their journey might take, or as justification that they did indeed take the right paths, just like Mike.

The Observer's Year
For this new edition, the text has been brought fully up to date – and the period covered is from 2005 to 2010. Inevitably, this has meant that large sections of the book have been completely rewritten. Much has happened since the ?rst edition was published in 1998.

Choosing and Using a New CAT
Choosing and Using the New CAT will supersede the author’s successful Choosing and Using a Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope, which has enjoyed enthusiastic support from the amateur astronomy community for the past seven years. Since the first book was published, a lot has changed in the technology of amateur astronomy. The sophistication and variety of the telescopes available to amateurs has increased dramatically. Computerized SCTs, Maksutov-Cassegrains, and most recently Meade’s new and acclaimed Ritchey-Chrétiens have come to dominate the market. That means that all amateurs considering the purchase of a new telescope (not only a SCT, and not just beginners) will benefit from this detailed guide. Choosing the right telescope for particular kinds of observation (or even for general work) is far from easy – but Rod Mollise gives invaluable advice and guidance.
