Hi Joe
Welcome to IIS
Great information provided by Alex and Carlton
I started with a 10” f5 dob (non Goto) and star charts etc...
Stellarium is a great planetarium to get you quickly familiar with the night sky and it’s free.A basic laptop is preferable as you can bring it outside with you next to your dob and put together a target plan for the evenings viewing or basic imaging.There are many other planetariums available too but I prefer Stellarium as it has an excellent display, interface and tools to use , “your eyes to the universe”
Enjoy your astronomical journey !!
