That's a very good article and I'm glad I came across it before I went out and bought a telescope, instead I borrowed a pair of 7X50 binoculars from my father in law and then I was given on permanent loan a telescope that had been gathering dust in their cupboard. I then went to the library and borrowed quite a few of their books, as I didn't want to go out and buy a book that I found difficult to use. I have to say I think I have looked at the moon once or twice with the telescope, but at the moment I am very happy laying on the grass looking up at the sky at the moment. I would eventually would like to astrophotography as I already love my DSLR. And it means the money I was going to spend on my first telescope has been saved towards a telescope later on that is capable of astrophotography.
