Greetings!

Hi all

A friend recently brought over a telescope and we had a little bit of a play around with it (neither of us knew much about astronomy).

We managed to focus on the moon and what an amazing sight!!

I have zero knowledge on astronomy - hoping to find out more by reading and absorbing the knowledge of the iceinspace community

I've read that as a total beginner it's better to start off with a pair of binoculars as opposed to jumping straight into telescopes. This subject is probably discussed to death, but am happy to hear any thoughts on this.

Thanks!
