JamesM Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi Julie and welcome to the forum. When a question arises just post a question the relevant section and the answers will quickly arrive. Astronomy isn't difficult but I will admit that there is rather a lot of it, so sit back, relax and take your time exploring the areas of interest that appeal to you after all the stars aren't going anywhere soon! Clear skies and hope you enjoy the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tums Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Welcome to the Lounge Julie. I have posted this on a thread before, to try and give some basic things for a new starter. Hope it helps a little. Welcome to this fascinating Pastime. Firstly, I'd get a copy of a good astronomy Guide, something like, ' Turn Left at Orion ' or 'The Backyard Astronomers guide' books like these are invaluable when your starting out.There are also some great free software, you can get to show you what's in the sky at night. http://www.skymaps.com Is something that you can print off, and is very handy.There's also some software called 'Stellarium '. http://www.stellarium.org/en_GB/That's great if you have a tablet or phone with you, whilst observing.The other recommendation is find your nearest. Astro society, and go along, and see what other people have, it's a perfect opportunity to ask questions. http://www.firstligh...om/locator.htmlAlso have a good read at some of the beginners threads on here, they are very helpful,and may well give you some answers.A must read is this. Please don't expect to see things , as you would on TV or in magazines. http://stargazerslou...-expect-to-see/But for now your main objective is. ENJOY YOUR STARGAZING.
