New to this whole game, need some advice?
Hi Guys,
I've just started getting into Astronomy, and just had a couple questions you may be able to help me with please?
- I'm in Melbourne (Northern Suburbs) and wanted to know if this makes any difference in observing the night sky?
- I've been using Stellarium to get a better understanding of the sky, is this a good idea for a newbie?
- I've decided to purchase Binoculars (for now) rather than get a Telescope straightaway, is this a good idea for a newbie?
- And if so I want to purchase the Celestron 15x70, will I be able to see things with these? I've also read that I need a mount, what mount do I need and how much do they cost approximately?
- And finally any general advice for someone who is just starting?
