Far from putting me off, it fed my desire to progress further and go for more aperture.
There's heaps of good stuff up there to see through a small scope.
The star charts that come with Astronomy 2008 are perfect for the beginner/novice. Carefully remove them and then laminate them to save them from the dew.
I hope you enjoy your new hobby.
I had the same thing 60mm tasco on a wobbly mount, it was a right pain
in the @$$. Still I was out with it every night I could for a good 6 months
before buying the 8". But looking back and knowing the options I could
have gone. I wouldn't take that path again.

regards,CS
