Astronomy can be a life long pleasure, with the right equipment.
There's more equipment out there than ever before. In this website I will attempt to make some sense out of the seemingly endless selection of telescopes, eyepieces, accessories and the jargon. Subscribe to one of the major magazines on astronomy and telescopes. These will get you started not only with finding celestial objects, such as planets, galaxies, and of course the constellations, they will also acquaint you with the variety of equipment out there. Join a club or society, or tag along on one of their observing sessions.
