thanks everyone
i will let you know when the 11x56s arrive...
until then i am trying to find out what books i should be looking for...
from all my searches i seem to be coming down to
Patrick Moore Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars
Philip S. Harrington Touring the Universe though Binoculars
Nightwatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe (Spiral-bound)
by Terence Dic kinson
ANY THOUGHTS ON THESE, or other suggestions.
I have The Australian Guide to Stargazing....and....Observing the Moon (Collins)...and a couple of magazines...
i can't blow the budget any mo re, but with Christmas coming up, maybe it is a good opportunity....
keep in mind i am very much a beginner...i can't read or make any sense of maps...
and need to get a hold of the basics, without being scared off...i want to use the binoculars and have fun,,,
so what are must have 'tools' to get going.
look forward to any assistance...
