Hello Derdle and a warm welcome to SGL.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

I read the thread http://stargazerslounge.com/beginners-help-advice/72869-essential-reading-those-who-thinking-about-getting-into-astronomy.html

..and followed the link. Quite an old article (the use of "Compuserve" was a bit of a giveaway) but the principles are as valid now as they were 11 years ago.

So, today, I'm taking the first steps by borrowing a telescope from friends - hopefully we'll have some clear skies tonight.
