onesmallstep Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi and welcome to SGLTips? The usual suspects.1. Buy 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars and learn the night sky.2. Do your research before buying a scope. This will include reading SGL forums and primers, and talking to people.3. Approach your local astro club (type 'fedastro' into search engines). They will be more than happy to advise you and will probably have access to scope so that you can try before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
