JamesM Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Andre and welcome to the forum.The date now is likely to be August for TLAO although the current reprint does contain up to revised tables if the above date is too far away to wait! Althought the new edition does have a section for dobsonian users I believe.Clear skiesJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMassive Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi there from North Wales. I've just purchased the current edition of Turn Left at Orion, it's a great book, and I don't think you'd be disappointed if you bought it now - in case you can't wait.

nexus21 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Andrew and welcome. Like you I'm just starting out and with all the cloud we have had I've not had much chance to see the moon yet. Keep an eye out for Jupiter and Saturn. You are just in time to catch jupiter before it's orbit disappears behind the sun, look west just after sun set and you may catch jupiter and mercury close to each other. Also around the 3rd of april it will be best time to see Saturn at opposition. It rises in the east at about 9pm ish and is in the south about 1am.
