Here are several references that I found helpful as I began exploring Video Astronomy:
As I got back into Astronomy and was learning to use the GoTo type mounts, I developed a couple of books containing practical answers to the issues I encountered. The first book primarily focuses on using an Alt-Az mount and the second book on using an Equatorial mount. Then I began learning how to best use them for Video Astronomy and RVA, which resulted in the third book.
