Real beginner
Hi All,
As you can see from the title I'm totally new to astronomy. I've read the excellent first article by Brian Nolan on choosing your first telescope and it is now obvious to me that I've got to do some basic learning and homework before I go any further. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction i.e. what books to read, webpages to consult, audio podcast to listen to, people to speak to at Ice in Space or anything that'll prepare me to observing the stars with my first telescope.
Thought I'd start with the online course on solar system astronomy in the resources page and Hubert Reeves's book Stardust but would welcome suggestions from Ice in Space members. Thank you.
Cheers,
Valerian
