Another newbie
Hi all!
I've been following this forum eversince the spectacular McNaught. Stumbled across pictures of it on an aviation site; did a Google and I was brought to this amazing forum. Not one day passes that I'm not reading posts here. I've been watching a lot of documentaries on space, and have recently watched a Hubble Telescope special. My partner surprised me with a telescope today so that I could take my curiosity and pursuit to view what the night sky has to offer to a different level. So I have here with me a Barska 600 Power which I've assembled. I have no prior background other than viewing McNaught astronomy-wise and with this scope I'm hoping to discover a lot more. I've been reading a lot of posts and I must say the jargon and terminologies used can be overwhelming for. The 600 power came with a 12.5mm, 20mm and 4mm EP, 800mm focal length, a Barlow lens and a moon filter. Other threads have referred to binoculars as 10x50 or 20x80, does the same apply to telescopes. Is this scope adequate for viewing planets, nebulas, and nearby galaxies? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chung
