Daniel-K Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi welcome. As the other guys said a good pair of binoculars are better than a cheap scope. Take your time if you are going to choose a scope research is essential and theres lots of friendly advice on here to help DANNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi and welcome to the forum. If you want to learn the sky, an easy way is to download some free planetarium software called 'Stellarium' which you can view here. Lots of great features to help show where stuff is up there and is great for learning the constellation. You can configure it to match your exact viewing location too which will provide you with an identical night sky to that which you can see out in your garden.Clear skies for now and enjoy the forumJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason.p Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Welcome to the forum. I fully endorse previous posts about naked eye and bins to start with. Learning the night sky and being able to find your way around will be an enormous help when you get your scope. I only wish I'd spent more time doing that. Keep in touch and don't be afraid to ask anything, even if if might seem a bit basic. Everyone on here had to start somewhere.Good luck and clear skies Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
