Stargazing With A Telescope: for (pg 1) beginners.

[BiG JiLM]

Having just jumped in and got a 1st scope with the most minimal research ie going on instinct + ebay (2 hrs/ job done- hugely lazy!) I was flukey and got exactly the right sort of thing for my needs, the room I have etc.. and so off Im running with a new hobby: great.

I could have come a cropper easily enough though and I really should have at least read this before anything else in retrospect: its a basic run-through of this v good book, in a very concise single www page.

And at the btm of the page (its a long page!) is a collimation guide, in beginner's language, which is very good too.
