alan828 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hello all,Just joined the forum having read a fair bit as a guest. Newcomer to astronomy really, have had a skywatcher explorer 130P for about a year and am now getting a little bit of time to start using it. Looking forward to the inevitable upgrades etc.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Alan and welcome to the forum.

Mr Q Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hello Alan and welcome to the SGL.You have a good size scope to start with that will show you many deep space objects (DSOs) once you know where to look for them. To help you get started, a planisphere will help in locating the easier objects. A monthly planisphere can be printed out (free) for using outdoors at the following link:Skymaps.com - Publication Quality Sky Maps & Star Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
