Too Much on Astrophotography
At times, it seemed like I was reading a book on astrophotography than a book on a just using a dob. I've had my Z10 for almost two years now learning everything on my own and was hoping to learn something new, but in the end, I just found myself swiping through page after page on astrophotography.
