Hi~ I am new here... being in love with Astronomy since young and being reading lotsa interesting stuff but eversince age passes it had been long forgotten [smilie=beaten.gif]

Until recently I somehow saw the landing on Mar then I begin to start reading up and arghhh I guess I got hook up by the mystic of the heavenly bodies again...

Of course poor me won't be able to afford to own a good telescope... planning to just get a bino for a start and a affordable simple chart... and start to recognise their position and shape~

That all folk~ sleepy....

Binos work great, on good occasions, you might even get to notice nebulosity!

eh yah, some nebulosity is visible for the Orion nebula. I think the rest is pretty darn hard.
