Clairelm1 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
