Line-21 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 New member from south Yorkshire.Just starting out on this hobby for my son and I........Reading just about everything I can at the moment to get a good idea of what scopes are out there. It seems the dobsonians are best 'bang for buck' so will do a little more reading on beginner set up's.Also found a couple of local clubs to check out, but the open sessions seem to have been hit by the weather......

Charon Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Welcome aboard. Just take your time and keep on with your research before buying a telescope. Going to a local club is an excellent idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi welcome to the lounge, take your time and learn the night sky first, then consider what type of scope you need,planetary, deep sky objects or all aspects of astronomy, including astro photography there is so much to take in,that was the first advice I was given, I am glad I took the advice, so if you can, take your time, don't rush it.All the best and Good Luck.

Jim Steele Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi and welcome to SGL, if you haven't already get yourself stellarium, useful free program for when the clouds won't clear (most of the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starman1969 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Welcome to SGL. I hope you get to visit some successful events. The weather plays havoc with us stargazers at times, but one very good night of viewing can make up for a lot of cloudy nights especially if it is at a star party.

JamesM Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi and welcome to the forum. Shame about the public observation sessions because these events really do provide a lot of insight as to what you can see for those who are starting out and who are naturally a little unsure as to what kit to buy.Wishing you clearer skies soon and hope you enjoy the forum.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
