hi Deneb,
that was even better than I had hoped to get! What a thorough, thoughtful response. Thanks so much. It really gives me a lot to think about. I enjoyed reading it. I don't understand all of the "technical" astronomy stuff but hopefully I will learn quickly...

I think I will definitely check out any clubs in my area and see if I can join up and share equipment before I buy. I know I saw some telescopes at the local camera store, but I don't know the quality of them. I"m afraid they might be the kind you mentioned - the cheap kind. I will have to do some more research first!

Is it hard to find clubs to join? Should I check the paper or web? Actually maybe I could email that guy who used to bring in pictures. Maybe he could tell me where to get started...but I haven't talked to him in a loooong time. Do you think it would be weird if you got a call from someone you knew a long time ago asking about astronomy & telescopes? Would he think that was weird? Or would he then feel obligated to ask me to join him, even if he doesn't really like me? (Am I overthinking this???)

Thanks again for all the advice!
JenStar
