orion telescope where to buy
I need a good book that "guide" for me the stars?

I just bought a Orion SkyQuest xt6 Classic, and I dont really have any idea on where to point my telescope, I found Saturn and Jupiter, but I do not know where to look to see all the other planets and Galix and foggy, which is a good book I address all these points of interest?

A preliminary purchase would be a good planisphere – a small plastic or cardboard that can be set for certain times of year to see what's up. They often include things easy to find other than the stars, like Andromeda or groups. You know how to use setting circles in his telescope – the Right Ascention and Declination circles? If so, then look up the Messier objects online – Many are easy to find the coordinates. These are some of the brightest clusters, nebulae and galaxies in the sky. If you do not know how to use circles adjustment, ready to go "star hopping" – using easy to find stars to locate objects. Here is a page written with a lot you. But in terms http://education.gsu.edu/spehar/FOCUS/Astronomy/star-hop/Monthly/index.htm books go, I know David Levy is well on the night sky – that could actually call it that – and then there's the guide, published annually observers. But you have setup one of the circles. Good luck!
