Ben- Welcome aboard. Your interest in astronomy is exactly what this list serve and it's members are all about. Before you go out and purchase any equipment, spend some time observing with someone; SLAS star parties, SLOC, etc. For example, the Saturn watch (re) scheduled for this weekend. Feel free to contact me off-list and we can discuss going out and doing some observing.

I've been a member of this mailing list for a while, but I haven't said anything, yet. I've had an interest in Astronomy for as long as I can remember, and I want to take that interest a little deeper. I was wondering if someone could suggest a few pieces for a beginner to buy to look up at the stuff above that I can't learn enough about. And maybe, if some of you wouldn't mind, if I could tag along to one of your gazes. It would be very appreciated. Please let me know on an item I could get my hands onto, and if you wouldn't mind if I tagged along with some of you.
