If you are in the suburbs, you will see what looks like a spot on your binocular lens. Binoculars are the best way to learn the sky. After you have found an object with binoculars see if you can find it with a telescope. Make an open cluster one of your first deep space targets. Some are bright, beautiful and easy to find, especially if you can find one with binoculars first.
Double stars are another beautiful group of objects to see.
Double star hunting can be done from the suburbs and is a fun way to learn the constellations. Be sure to reserve judgment on deep space observing until you do it at a dark site. It is tough to see many of these faint objects in light polluted areas. The moon will also wash out a faint object, so it is good practice to observe within a few days of a new moon. The Moon is an object well worth your time, unless it is full.
