Thanks fellas.
I ended up with the Gerber model.
Have been waiting for a good night. It was cloudy last night, I wanted to sus out the moon. Haven't really had much time to take them out. I did have a good gaze at the stars, but really need to try the mop/broom trick (also mentioned in the book I have). My neck started to get real sore from the vertical gazing.
I could make out the handle of the teapot, and the middle glowing star which can't be seen to the naked eye. While the magnification isn't large, the enormous amount of light that I can take in is amazing. Just wish there were less street lights around my area, I really need to travel out to get a dark sky :/
The book I have (while good for star observation) doesn't really mention much about the planets (well it does, but not so much on how to find them). What will I be looking at (in terms of size). Will it be relatively similar to a large star, with differentiation in colour?
Thanks guys.
