Hi Greg and welcome
I’m a late starter at nearly 60yo but I’m glad I did , what an incredible hobby
I researched for 6 months before I purchased my first telescope ( 10” dob )
Don’t be afraid to ask questions , Ive asked my share
My only advice is to read, read and read some more , there is plenty of Astro material on the internet, plenty of books , Astro suppliers , astronomy clubs, and of course Astro forums like IIS
Good luck and enjoy your astronomical journey !!
Martin
