Hi from UK

[Clairelm1]

Hi, I am new here. I received a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ on Wednesday but yet to use due to cloudy weather.

I am a total newbie and am really excited to get started. I love reading and learning so tips for any good books for a dummy appreciated

Hi and welcome. I think the beginners bible is "Turn Left at Orion" A wealth of information in there.

P.s good scope

Hi Claire and welcome to SGL. Lots of help on this site from friendly people. Have a look at the web site for Todmorden observatory if you have not already done so. It's not far from you and may well be worth a visit.
