Thanks for the welcomes

I haven't actually got planetarium software - yet. Is there some such software that you can recommend, and is it something I need to buy from somewhere, or can I download it somewhere on the 'net (legally of course).

I actually did get that book as an added extra (thrown in at no cost) when I bought my telescope - it is already a brilliant book, and I think I've only skimmed about a dozen pages.

Thanks for the links, I'll look into joining up to a society as soon as I can, sounds like a great place to learn more and meet more people with the same interests.
After I posted last night, I decided to check things out from my balcony, and was amazed at all the stars I could see, stars I could not see with just my eyes - that was about 10 minutes after I posted last night. Where I live, there is a lot of light from buildings and streets, so I didn't think I would see too much, so was pleasantly surprised.
I just figured out how to open the case that my moon filter is in (that was one tough case), so soon I'll be asking lots of question about how to use that also (I'll try to find the photo I took of the moon over year ago, with just my camera with its 300mm lens and post it up in the images section at some stage)
Thanks again everyone
