Hi All,
Janine,
Seeker has covered the Messier objects question very well,and the link to the skymaps will be of great value to you also.
The only thing I would add is some of the messier objects, as well as some of the brighter NGC objects can look like little cotton balls in binoculars, so you wont see objects like the glossy pictures,in magazines show.
As for the arm rest on my chair,
It is simply something I made.
Its 2 pieces of timber,with another piece across the top fitted with a cushion,just high enough for my elbows to rest on,and just wide enough,to be held in place with the pressure of my thighs,its no great carpentary masterpiece,it simply allows you to rest your arms,thereby removing some of the shakes.
Regards.John
