I wanted to like this book but in the end I have to wonder what the purpose of buying a book whose contents can be found in 10 minutes searching the internet. This book was perhaps of some value 5 years ago. I expected that this book would be more than a description of websites and programs and contain some 'how-to' information. Pages 293 through 482 were used to describe what was on the cd.

There are better astronomy books out there and the software and website descriptions properly belong on the internet.
