Hi Marie (and Stu of course).
welcome to the best forum out.
A good place to start could also be a local astro society or club. Or canvas the members here for those that are close to where you live. Buddy up with them and learn, it is a learn by doing hobby, and the more you can watch the better.
Either way, keep asking questions here, there are heaps of knowledgable members and they are only too happy to answer any and all the questions.
