My name's Carrot and I joined this forum today. I've just ordered Turn left at Orion, Philip's Planispere and Astronomy for Dummies from Amazon today. I'm totally new to all this. I did buy a book with some star charts a few years ago but could not make any sense of them. So I'm going to try again, but this time try harder.

I've just sold one of my guitars and will have enough to buy myself a suitable telescope soon. I intend to start attending The Usk Astronomical society's meetings this week. I hope to pick up a few tips on which telescope to buy. I'd like some kit that I can use my camera with as I also like photography.

I'd like to thank the people responsible for this forum for sharing so much valuble information. It helps newbies like myself a great deal.

Hi Carrot. I've also new to this and have got the books you've ordered - Turn left at Orion, Philip's Planispere and Astronomy for Dummies - but AforD is nowhere near as good as Astronomy by Dinah Moche(?) - roughly same price as well

Turn Left is good also for finding things
