Clive:
That seems wonderful to me Gill.  Seeing the night sky is Nature's greatest free spectacle.

GillE:
I just wish my hubby knew how to use his telescope!  :laugh:

Clive:
Telescopes are not at all easy to use Gill.   Get him a nice pair of 10x50 binoculars.  Amazon often sell Nikons for £100.  If he finds them too heavy go for 10x40 instead.  Don't get anything else or they will be unusable.

GillE:
He's already got a good pair of Nikon binoculars - perhaps I ought to remind him.  What he dreams of doing, though, is connecting his camera into the eyepiece of the telescope  (he has an adapter) and taking photographs.  I think he may have to join an astronomy club to learn how to do that, though.

Clive:
In order to take photos, he will need quite a sophisticated telescope.  It must extremely stable and motor driven to keep up with the Earth's rotation.  If he wants to join a local astronomical society I can tell you where they are in your area.  You could also look online at a website such as The Federation of Astronomical Societies.
