Hi guy's,
I hope you all had a really good christmas & Santa was good to you.
He was pretty good to me, I got a Celestron Power Tank 17 & I reckon I could jump start the space shuttle with it.
didn't play with my 4SE last night, too tanked.
I have a question & if it has been done in a previous thread I apologise.
Where can I get a book that will allow me to find items in the sky, so I don't just have to rely on the data base in my scope, & will also explain how to use RA & DEC in simple terms so that I can start directing my scope to things I can see as my back yard is limited due to sheds trees etc.
I'd also like to find something that gives me common names not just Astronomical names like the Southern cross, I don't know if it is a constellation, a Asterisim, or a Caldwell.
Can some one help me so I can start getting some serious use out of my scope.
