Hi everyone - where to start?
G'day all
I am completely new to Astronomy and not sure where to start, though I did do enough research to find myself a nice dobsonian. Here's what I managed to pick up after quite some time eyeing off gumtree:
Meade 10” LightBridge Truss Tube Dobsonian
QX 26mm wide angle eyepiece
Meade Series 5000 HD-60 6.5mm WP
Orion LaserMate Deluxe Collimator
So hopefully that is a decent setup. It is a little daunting since I aven't played with a smaller reflector telescope previously (except for some 35 years ago in my teens).
I'm in Mitcham Adelaide and hoping I will be able to get aquiainted with the gear without having to venture into the countryside.
I'll have lot's of dumb questions - be pre-warned!
Where should I start?
Greg
