Hello! Brand new newbie!
Hi Everyone!
I have always been interested in Astronomy, but other than looking up items of interest on Google and watching documentaries, I haven't really done anything.
This Christmas, I received a telescope as a gift! Now, as I am astronomy & telescope illiterate, and to give you more seasoned astronomers a giggle, I think it is the following:
Foco D=114 mm F=900 mm
My housemate is going to help me assemble it tomorrow. I would love to have a peep at the planets firstly, and if the telescope is strong enough, maybe some nebulas? But I have no idea how I know where to point it! Are there any books or web pages that can help with that sort of stuff?
Any and all info & tips would be great! I think there is a Tassie Astronomy group which I am going to look into joining (I am from QLD originally) but would love to start looking sooner!
Many thanks,
