Hi guys,
I need something to help me find stuff in space! In Rocky, I was well versed with one part of the sky (Pointers, Crux, Scorpians Tail, Jupiter, Sirrius, Saturn, Orion's belt, Canopus, etc..), but now I'm in Brisbane, the sky's slightly different and there's a bit of light pollution...I have no idea what I'm lookin at. All I know are Jupiter, Scorpian's tail, pointers and Crux.
I was able to find stars in Rocky because I had those bright stars to try and judge where I needed to look. Now, the brightest one I have is Jupiter.
Anyway, if you have suggestions on how I should look for stuff, please let me know...otherwise, I was thinking about these argo navis and go-to systems. Which should I go for? I think I have an orion eq-3 mount, and the scope is listed below. I'm also attempting very, very amateur astrophotography.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
EDIT: From what I have researched, the costs are:
Argo Navis system + kit + etc.. = $1000+
Go-To mount = $1400 - $1800 (EQ3, EQ5, HEQ5)
