yunged Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I am really quite new to the astronomy game, i have been into physics for a long time and heard one of my heroes talk about a man named Carl Sagan...... so i just finished the 13th hour of 'Cosmos' and i'm hooked :-)i have been browsing ebay looking for a begginers scope for a while and realize i have absolutely no idea what i am looking at! so any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated.Also i am from Bristol in the south west of England, was wondering if there are any events or gatherings near to me that would be worth checking out??Cheers Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REB Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi and welcome from me in South Yorkshire. There's loads of advice on choosing and buying equipment - most of which will depend on how deep you wish to dip into your pocket for loose change.
