Where do I go for help?
Home » Astronomy » Some Sky Savvy » Where do I go for help?Unfortunately, it isn’t as easy to find help with astronomy as it would be with other hobbies. Your local library has a vast resource of materials which can assist you with discovering object magnitudes and even observing guide books to lead you to objects suited for telescopes and binoculars.
For technical help with your telescope or binoculars, you will need to contact the dealer from which you purchased your equipment. Although they can’t help you locate an object in the sky, they can assist with such simple matters as a poorly collimated scope, or something that doesn’t perform correctly.
Check in your area for a local astronomy club. Many members are very willing to work with a beginner and answer questions. Don’t be afraid to approach them because your knowledge is limited—they were beginners once as well!
If all else fails, have a look on the web. You would be very surprised at the amazing amount of astronomy information that’s available right at your fingertips.
