2015... lessons learned.Posted By john raymond |
Try some naked eye astronomy. Learn the major stars and constellations, and you will have that always.
Or try these exercises: Memorize
Names of the Big Dipper stars
Names of the Pleiades stars
the Greek alphabet
Try binoculars observing as an endeavor, and to bridge naked eye and telescopic observing.
Maybe set some goals for 2016?

After Dark
BARNARD'S STARPosted By john raymond |
It's a faint, but not too faint red star. Use the photo in Burnham's. Uranometria charts it too. The wedge shaped asterism is kinda faint, but should be visible in an 8"

For a new dob, I advise a vendor that tests the completed scope under the stars before delivery.
Good Luck
