Anyone around to help me?
Hi,
as i have mentioned before, i am new at astronomy, but i am willing to learn all about it. I have got myself a Meade ETX 70, "a starter telescope" to start me off but i would like some guidance, Is there anyone that has time just to help me along and give me guidance, websites etc.. that i could work through to learn? Also, i aint happy with the amount of shi* thats in the sky at the moment, bluddy tourists down here on the isle of wight are making my sky viewing evenings a nightmare, all i can see is mist, pollution and if i am lucky, i may see a star! The moon is orange, and mars looks even more orange than usual due to this pollution. Not happy. |

You'd be an even poorer place without us (just a prison for employment!). How we can be held responsible for bad seeing or light pollution evades me - perhaps we are breathing too much, erecting high pressure sodium lamps near your house or flying up (us mainlanders can fly you know) & obscuring the sky? As for help - try using your initiative - there are dozens of websites that'll help you, use Google with some keywords: cloudy nights, Weasner's ETX site, the naked sky. Nigh****ch is a superb book. Next time I sail across to spend my hard earned cash on the wonderful island, if I see you (a miserable toad, moaning at me for being there, squinting at the streetlamps, with an ETX), you can buy me a pint & prove me wrong. --Joe |
