JamesM Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Dan and welcome to the forum.Don't forget the search button at the top of the page which will allow you to access past question/answers to past topics. Given that a lot of astro clubs do public observation evenings at this time of year, google your local club or observing group to see what they're up to as you can't beat looking through a scope to see if they if it will meet your expectations.Clear skiesJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
