Hi I am after a book that will assist me in using my new telescope. (I have the telescope manual on the operation side), however the help is more the Sky side, and where to look and when etc. And how to get the best / set up out of my telescope. I am a newby to this, and would appreciate any advise/suggestions. I have searched the net and amazon and keep only finding either really old books or just books on telescopes.:hello2:

Two books that have greatly helped me is "Turn Left at Orion" and "Night Watch". The first will help you navigate the stars while the other will go a little deeper and also discuss the equipment used.

I also suggest downloading "Stellarium" which is a free program found on the Internet. It will also help you greatly.

I wish you clear skies and the best of luck in developing this new passion!
