Essential reading for those who are thinking about getting into Astronomy !
in Getting Started General Help and Advice
Posted
That really was an excellent article; being totally new to the subject I could already feel exasperation at how many important decisions there were to be made. I think it shows me that time and patience is best. So I am putting ideas of which Telescope on a back burner and heading out tonight with my son with a sky chart and my binoculars and we can learn together!
The aim eventually is a good grasp of Astrophotography but I think I'll just concentrate on knowing a lot more about Astronomy in general first before getting ideas of perfect pictures of nebulas!
A couple of questions however, being based in Shropshire (near Telford) can anyone recommend a good local site to view the night sky? And is there a local society that I could eventually get in contact with?
