There is another thing you can do, if you don't have a scope &/or are considering getting one, get to a Star Party! Star Parties are a fantastic way to get to see many different types of telescopes, how they work, their ease of setting up, accessories, even what you get for your money. Folks at these nocturnal gatherings will be only too happy to have you look through their gear.
There are many astronomy clubs scatter throughout the country. There is a list of clubs in the "Our Community" heading in the left margin. You can contact them to see when their next session will be.
There are also many Star Parties listed in the "Star Parties & Community Events" forum. This week end will see many gatherings happening due to the New Moon phase.
Have a look!
