Best way to start?
Hi all,
After some fantastic help from all of you in this forum, I am about to receive my first telescope:
GS-580-LTD
=========
Guan Sheng 150mm x 1200mm Dobsonian refelector.
2 Plossl eyepieces (25mm and 9mm)
6x30 finder scope
binoculars
moon filter
Two questions :
(1) What (if any) accessories, books (or anything else) would you
*highly* recommend I go and get? Things which you would
consider almost manditory... (or will I be fine with that to start with?)
(2) Any recommendations for how to go about learning to use the
new scope and finding my way around the universe?
Are there any planets/stars which are around at the moment that would
be good first experiences for a complete newb?
Much thanks everyone!
Looking forward to starting my exploration....
Cheers,
Chris
