Take the telescope plunge carefully . The time to buy a scope is after you've had a chance to acclimate to the sky around you and all its nuances. A pair of binoculars is an excellent choice if you want to do more than naked eye viewing, but don't want all the fuss and expense of a telescope.

Now, go out and fill it with your time.
