thanks so much for the information guys!

to astro744, your in depth reply is greatly appreciated. Is there any way that you can let me know a little more about what you described to me though. I am a COMPLETE novice, however i do know the planets and can find them quite easily with the program stellarium i have on my pc then go out and see them through a scope, I can also find many constellations with naked eye (scouts then army i guess helped there). I am interested in the following you described;

Quasar 3C 273 - what is it and where abouts can i find it? the search area in stellarium does nothing when i enter that.

if anyone can tell me how to search for these things in the program stellarium i would be greatful as i have noticed that instead of some words you need to type the sign for eta then car neb. is that right??

I think that is enough questions for you all this thread, thanks in advance once more.

p.s - sombrero, ngc 253 and andromeda - holy crap amazing!!!!! i cant wait to see them through a scope and not on a computer image. will this be possible with a 6" dob??
