And of course the official Celestron NexStar page:

Here's some other sites of great interest!
Dan's astronomy software. A great freeware site.
Doc G's list of interesting CCD objects listed by size.
Thierry Legault's great collimation site.
Scott Tucker's outstanding drift alignment site.
I'll occasionally add sites to this list.  If you have suggestions please let me know.
Clear skies,
Jeff

Hi,
This is based on Meade's AutoStar. Is this directly applicable to NexStar?
Tnx,
Mike

Bestpair has been around a long time. It works well for any "GOTO scope" requiring alignment to stars.
