I just point my scope into the air and look through the eyepiece - seems to work well. I use a star chart and try and pick out things off it.

Anyway, is there any info on this site about how to use a dobsonian telescope properly?
Hi Luke,
If you can, you should come along to the Barambah Dark Sky Camp.
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=34767
You'll meet up with other Ice In Spacers from around South East Queensland.
You'll get loads of good advice, and get answers to all of your questions.
Everyone is very friendly and you get the chance to look through many different types of telescopes.
Cheers,
JEanette
