A few people are asking what my recommendations are for a good astronomy starter kit, binoculars and first telescope. Here are two of the slides I delivered at the Sea Scout Hall last Thursday with a few good suggestions that won't leave you broke. Definitely start with binoculars if you don't already have them. Next, while it's true that big apertures mean brighter views, you need to seriously weight this up against portable your telescope will be. Remember the best telescope is the one you'll actually use, so don't buy a giant scope if you then need to lug it down stairs or into a car to do all your observing. You'll simply end up staying indoors.more of the time. The Starblast 4.5 (or similar) is good bet because it's pickup and go. Even if you end up upgrading to a bigger scope in the future you'll probably still wheel this one out for grab and go observing. Remember you don't need to go for these exactly models. There's a vast selection out there based on similar designs. #teleacopes #astronomy #space #stargazing #skywatching #nightsky #cosmology #stars #galaxy #milkyway #universe #science #stem #astrophotography #photography #physics #chemistry #solarsystem #outdoor #outdoorlearning #nature #walking #telescope #binoculars

Looking Moonward this evening at the Merkinch Nature Reserve astronomy evening, now based out of the Sea Cadet Hall on Kessock Road, Inverness. This evening we projected the Moon and observed the preserved remains of 4 billion years worth of violent lunar impacts. We also observed the Moon with the reserves new order of binoculars, purchased for birdwatching, nature and astronomy. #moon #astronomy #space #stargazing #skywatching #nightsky #cosmology #stars #galaxy #milkyway #universe #science #stem #astrophotography #photography #physics #chemistry #solarsystem #outdoor #outdoorlearning #nature #walking #telescope #binoculars

Look out for tomorrow's blazing bright waxing gibbous Moon, sitting within the horns of Taurus and next to the red giant star Aldebaran. Despite the moonlight you'll also be able to make out the distinctive constellation of Orion below and left with sparking Sirius further below near the horizon. Clear skies. #moon #planets #astronomy #space #stargazing #skywatching #nightsky #cosmology #stars #galaxy #milkyway #universe #science #stem #astrophotography #photography #physics #chemistry #solarsystem #outdoor #outdoorlearning #nature #walking #telescope #binoculars

ISS returns to Scotland's skies next Friday January 25th. Look out for flyby guides and times. #iss #spacestation #astronomy #space #stargazing #skywatching #nightsky #cosmology #stars #galaxy #milkyway #universe #science #stem #astrophotography #photography #physics #chemistry #solarsystem #outdoor #outdoorlearning #nature #walking #telescope #binoculars

Caught planet Venus in video telescope this morning, now over 50% illuminated as it begins swinging back behind the Sun and further away from Earth. Observing Venus's phases in telescope is what ultimately crushed the geocentric view of the solar system in the early 15th century. It wouldn't be possible - without severe fudging - to see Venus go through a complete set of phases unless the Sun was at the centre of the solar system. #venus #planets #solarsystem #astronomy #astrophotography #photography #video #stargazing #nature #outdoorlearning #walking #science #astrophysics #space

Quick snap of the first quarter Moon tonight, with the sea of Serenity and Tranquility on display (dark central areas) and the dramatic ranges of the Appenine mountains emerging from under the dark side of the terminator. Clear skies. #moon #skywatching #stargazing #astrophotography #astronony #geology #science #nature #outdoors #walking #photography
