JamesM Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi David and welcome to the forum. If you want some help understanding the constellations, help identifying what you're looking at and also knowing where to find stuff, then why not take a look at a free piece of planetarium software called "Stellarium", you can read more here. It's easy to use with a lot of great features to keep you busy when the clouds come in (....and stay in! )Clear skies for now and enjoy the forumJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi EveryoneI am starting from the bottom for learning about astronomy, so as I start to learn I will probably be asking lots of basic questions I hope people don’t mind? My first of many is what do people think of the Skywatcher Startravel 102 AZ3 Telescope for beginners any thoughts and opinions much welcome before I purchase?My backgroundBat Consultant for planning applications (Plenty of night work)CheersMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
