Hey there,

I'm a relative newcomer to this game also - seriously anyway - maybe 8 months??

Start slowly. Buy a mag (AS&T) or printoff a whole of skychart from HeavensAbove, get a chair and go sit outside on a dark night for a while by yourself (feeding the mozzies as someone else on this site once said), look up and see if you really like it.

Go to a gathering and check out some scopes - what you see may not be what you expect.

If you're still happy, get some bino's (7*50 or 10*50) to start.

If you're still going in a few months get bigger bino's or a small scope. You'll have a better idea of what you want by then.

Enjoy,
neB
