Greg Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Try Calsky or heavens above for websites..Download stellarium, a free planetarium software program for the computer..If you have an iPad or iPhone I've just found this excellent free app goskywatch.Bring up what you want to look at in the menu and it has a mini goto with arrows that direct you to your chosen object... Great fun and again free..HTH. Greg.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwilkey Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 A reflector, the larger the better, covers many bases, no such thing as an absolute all-rounder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
