- I am a newcomer to astronomy and would be grateful for some
- guidance on a couple of points.
-
- Firstly I am using a secondhand home built 6" Newtonian telescope
- but have little understanding of how to set up and maintain the
- instrument.
-
- Are there any recommended books on this subject ?
- What power eyepiece lenses should I be able to use ? (and where in
- the UK can I buy them from ?)
-
-
- Also, as a beginner I would appreciate some recommendations for
- introductory books on astronomy in general.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Richard King
