| My general advice to people before they get a new telescope, or maybe even after getting a new telescope - find the contact details for your nearest local amateur astronomical society - they usually meet monthly, especially in winter - and just go along, with or without telescope. You will probably learn more in a couple of hours than going on a course.
My general advice to anyone buying a telescope "blind", as it were, is "don't". The big problem is we are all inundated with beautiful multicolour HD images of nebulas and galaxies and through your backyard telescope it just isn't remotely like that. Once you understand the limitations, and learn what is possible and what isn't, and are competent to find targets, it is a fantastic experience with the right telescope in the right conditions and very rewarding. Where most fall down is having completely wrong expectations and therefore being irrationally disappointed.
What is the spec. of the telescope, and I'll gladly make some suggestions or post some links.
In the meantime, fresh back from Pluto, the latest HD images

| Would be nice to pop onto a thread I'm interested in without having it thrown into inane ramblings and counter-ramblings.
Can someone just start a 'Conspiracy thread' and all fans of that kind of stuff keep it there?

I’m afraid having such a thread wouldn’t stop someone who’s hell-bent on debunking any rational train of thought hijacking the “Night Sky” thread.
As with any religious zealot who is totally indoctrinated in their own beliefs, they will never stop disputing a counter argument, because in their eyes they are correct.
The only way they can be stopped on here is with a click of a button by a moderator, yes I know they can be “Unfriended” but once quoted, back up they pop.

Spot on appraisal. Unfortunately.

Sorry you feel that way, it seems to me any counter opinion which is paradoxical to this thread is deemed as unethical which is absolutely discriminatory and prejudiced.Suggesting a new thread How pathetic especially coming from the butcher whom rarely posts as himself on here anyway. Now i don't wish or intend to hijack any thread on this forum, however if i'm being subjected to taunts of abuse with constant brain insults followed by geocentric ridicule iits poking a hornets nest so expect a backlash of more NASA fallacies otherwise leave the hornets nest alone. But to be honest my intuition tells me theres posters on here that just love to wind me up who have not contributed any dialogue into the topics other than to take the .

Religious zealot ? I've never once mentioned any personal faith to support my views, i don't need too. Hilariously though, You've just explained yourself to perfection in them last few sentences and the irony is, like i told KSC you've been duped into a heliocentric religion without even knowing.you have.
Your welcome to make your own threads up, its just unfortunate that my counter arguments and views tie in with these current threads ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

| Too few of the latter posts are about that subject matter. Posters, including the OP are clearly not happy at the way the thread has drifted (yes I'm being polite).
I'd be more than happy for someone to start another thread based on the original topic but suggest that those who wish to discuss other issues / theories do so on other threads.
