Hi everyone,
I'm very new to astronomy, and don't own a telescope yet. I have a pair of 7 X 50 binoculars and I'm planning on buying a pair of 10 x 50s soon. I didn't realise how much you could actually see through a pair of binoculars until a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm hooked! I bought a copy of "Heavens Above" by Robert Bee and a Star Wheel and as soon as there is a clear sky, I'm out there.
I've joined the Astronomical Society of Victoria and was planning to do their New Astronomers Group course next year. I was wondering if anyone here had done the course, and if so, is it worth doing, keeping in mind that my knowledge of the subject is very limited. I thought that at the very least, I'd be able to look through a few different types of telescopes before taking the plunge.
Regards
Neil
