damnut Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi Mike,Welcome to SGL. The ST120 is my grab & go scope of choice, its a great compromise between length and aperture.If you are on budget download a planetarium program to help you round the sky, try stellarium its great and free, to be found here ;-- http://www.stellarium.org/ . A couple of books to help are 'turn left at orion' and 'sky&telescope pocket star atlas' . Again these will help you learn the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
