umberto Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hello to all on this great forum.I am a novice star gazer. I have just moved up, from the back-yard/front-porch astronomy of staring upwards to cheap 10x50 binoculars (which I think are great) and a borrowed toyshop 60mm refractor (a friend's son lost interest). I can see some bright stars in the big town orange glow but binoculars show more. When the bug bites a little deeper I will splash out on a real telescope.I have already picked up lots of sage advice by perusing previous posts to newbies like me so a BIG thankyou to all you SGL posters sharing your enthusiasm and know-how.
