Hi Joe - and welcome to IIS.
Although I'm another 'Mexican', Steve's post (#8) pretty much says it all - you learn so much more and more quickly by attending a star party or Astro camp. I've been in the hobby in a relatively serious fashion for about three years now, and I've learnt and enjoyed so much more by attending the Snake Valley ACamps that Steve mentioned - I've been to three now and have really enjoyed looking through solar scopes during the day, monstrous dobs for visual and drooling over other people's AP gear - and my experiences mirror Steve's - the amateur community are only too willing to share their knowledge and expertise with others - so jump in with both feet and enjoy the ride - it's a great hobby (weather not withstanding!)
Paul
