segster Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well here we go. Got my telescope, got binos, got a few eyepieces, got some enthusiasm - just need a bit of knowledge and away we go! Managed to see moon, jupiter and moons, pleides, orion nebula, betelguese and mars so far. Now where is the andromeda galaxy, cant find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazel Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Segster, sounds like you are off to a great start. Try downloading Stellarium, which is free and will help you find your way around. Welcome to SGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segster Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks, yep got that, really useful as it helps me to know what I should find in the sky and where. Been looking for a thread about how to set up a polar scope but not sure I am using the search facilty right. Can anyone point me in right direction or advise on set up?
