Hi All,
Another newbie here. I have been introduced to this hobby this time last year by a friend and now I cannot get the image of Orion nebula out of my head *sigh*. I have acquired number of telescopes since then but I feel I am still lacking skills in using them effectively.
I am currently located in Seattle but will be returning to Oz sometime late next year (such is the plan).
One thing I have noticed was that the price of equipments over here seems to be much cheaper than back home - and using that as my justification I have managed to convince my wife in letting me buy a 12" dob (new), a 8" SCT (used) and a 5" autostar (another used - for the kids you know....
)
Now all I need are some pointers on how to use them effectively, and how to better observe the night sky - and any input would be appreciated.
Also, does anybody have any recommendations on what other things I must get before I return home? e.g, eyepieces, accessories, etc.....
Thank you and hope to hear from you a lot.
Cheers,
Paul.
