Now you know why you shouldn't initially run out and buy a telescope. Spend your money wisely. The online versions are nice for current information but they don't carry the advertisements that are important to your background knowledge. If there are no local astronomy clubs to join, then form one. Advertise your intent in your school publication or the local supermarket newspaper.
Stargazers are everywhere.
I use the RF to get the entire picture at once, the whole enchilada, of large objects like massive nebula, monstrous star clusters and big asterisms. Each telescope cost me about the same amount but, as you can see, each has a completely different function. And because I seldom know in advance what I'm going to be looking at when I begin a session, I rarely first go out with a telescope. That would be like putting the cart before the horse. In due time, I usually spot a good enough reason to drag out a telescope.
