Lots of great information for sure in this thread. I printed out the article from Sky and Telescope.
I have a good book called "The Stargazers Guide" by Emily Winterburn. I am also reading Stargazer The Life And Times Of The Telescope by Fred Watson. Th is is a library book but I am thinking of buying a copy for myself.
Recently getting back into astronomy

Hi,
I'm new too Well sort of. I was a member but you know how it is life gets in the way etc. I am looking to get back into astronomy. I probably will not buy a telescope until next spring. The biggest reason is right now I am going through chemo and it totally wipes me out for days. I go three weeks in a row then have a week off. I am in the PNW so from late fall through winter we get rain and cloudy skies quite often. We are in need of rain so bad right now. I also cannot drive due to medications. Working on hubby to have us spend a year living in Hawaii. They have nice dark skies there. 🙂 I have had two telescopes in the past so I am not completely clueless (but not overly knowledgeable either) I'm going to start reeducating myself.
