Where to next?
Hi all,
I am a newbie to the sport (makes me feel much fitter) of star gazing so forgive my ignorance if I should have posted this question elsewhere. I recently purchased a small telescope (90mm skywatcher refractor) and after a few months working out which end to look through I have had the pleasure of seeing Mars (I think, very small but you get what you pay for), Saturn (very small also but enormously impressed), many hours lookind at the moon, and as soon as this rain stops I have every intention of adding an early morning Jupiter to the list.
While I have every intention of spending many more months of studying these planets, I am unsure where to go to next for wow factor with such a small telescope. The moon and planets were an obvious place to start but when it comes to deeper space I have no idea.
As I am sure many members will agree, my wife holds the purse strings and to have any chance of upgrading my gear, I need simple wow factor to show and convince her. Any ideas?
many thanks
Dazza
