Hi Ruff, welcome to the group
.
You will find plenty of people able to help or steer you in the right direction. they are a great bunch of people.
I see that you have learned lesson 1.
"Anything that you buy of an astronomical nature will attract clouds" and lesson 1.1
"The amount you pay for said item is proportional to the amount of clouds it will attract".
But it's still a great hobby
Cheers and have fun
