Thanks M11
I actually read that article just yesterday.
I think i agree with the auther somewhat in that a Jack of all trades scope will probably be good to begin with
I've been doing some naked eye overvation for a while with the help of "Stellarium" but there are limits to that
I have dreams of computer driven scope...but i fear that is some way down the path.
I will have to try some Binos and see how things go.
