For anyone new to backyard astronomy, I highly recommend Chet Raymo's 365 Starry Nights. It's a beautifully (almost poetically) written and hand illustrated guide to the constellations and interesting objects within them, starting on Jan1 and progressing as the sky changes through the entire year. It assumes you have a small telescope or binoculars, and teaches you how to identify the constellations by the asterism they make in the sky, and where they sit in relation to other asterisms. Great book.
Thanks, I wanted to try a different sort of video for a change. I really like the Morpheus and plan to buy another before long. I’ve used it most with my Evolution 8, and really like the field of view and comfortable eye position. Not cheap but good.
This year my wife is getting me an Obsession 18 which, as far as she knows, cost around £25 or $30.

i would have bet that you put a 180mm maksutov on the evolution mount to complement the fast dob.
It’s on the wish list!
0:29 Is that a BST StarGuider ED 18mm eyepiece?
Yes, well spotted.
@@JenhamsAstro I've the full set! 😂
Hi Graham, I liked the little red torch and the solar can.
PS:- How did you get on with your Morpheus eyepiece?
