Thanks everyone. You have all been so much help & well I guess a simple question has turned into a complex thing LOL There is still a lot I need to think about with what you have all said before I decide on anything I do get.
Your help has been fantastic!! I am a member of another group & I cannot believe the difference in the boards. The other board seems to know very little & it's hard to get advice from them, so I will definitely be sticking around here
I have downloaded the stellarium atlas. I will have good long look at all the links I have received & good hard think about what I want or should do. No doubt I will have plenty more questions in the future.
