Hi Ben, to IIS.
Be warned , I started with a 114 reflector a few years back and the infection is still spreading .
No clue ? Have you downloaded Stellarium (free) onto your PC ? Excellent astro program that gives you a realistic view of what to expect and lets you identify and learn your way around. I still use it to plan a nights imaging.

Best advice is to do some visual using your scope and Stellarium to learn the sky. Find a local astro group and get along to one of their star parties so you can look through other equipment before you decide on any upgrades or aperture jumps. They will be quite happy to show off their setups and give advice.

Pretty good bunch on here so ask questions and you'll get plenty of help and advice. They can also spend your money for you very quickly on lots of astro goodies so be careful .

Cheers and enjoy

Brent
