Ok basically the same advice with a twist or two.
(1) planetarium software which will show you the sky right above you. Lots of good free programs ready to download.
(2) sit under the stars with a good book (possibly from the library) and get acquainted with your new friend.
(3) DO NOT BUY A CHEAP TELESCOPE FROM A DRUG-STORE
(4) 3 repeated
(5) a dob mounted reflector in the 4.5 to 12" range will show you lots. Your budget will dictate the aperture.
(6) if you cannot get to an astronomy club then this is a great place to ask questions and learn
(7) THIS HOBBY LIKE ANY HOBBY HAS A LEARNING CURVE THE MORE YOU OBSERVE THE BETTER YOU WILL GET AND THE MORE REWARDING IT WILL BECOME
