there is so much that can be done to start out with astronomy, even without a
scope!

Leah,
You are awesome, thank you.
I'm planning to complete this interview this week sometime.
Thanks for the input. Hope you are having a super Sunday!

1. get a good book on astronomy. "Nightwatch" by Terence Dickinson is my
favorite. Also "40 Nights to Knowing the Sky" by Fred Schaaf, and
"Skywatching" by David Levy. all are available at the public library.
2. use binoculars - any pair that you happen to have around the house will
do for starters. if you don't already have binoculars and want to get some
that are good for astronomy, look for a good 10x50 one. camera stores are a
good place to buy them. (the salesperson in dept stores might not be as
knowledgeable about the quality of the binoculars.)
3. use sky charts to learn the constellations. you can download one for
free from the website of Sky & Telescope (www.skyandtelescope.com) or from the
PAS website (http://www.pasaz.org/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=76)
4. view the Astronomy Picture of the Day (www.apod.com) and while you're
there, browse some past ones too! each picture has an expert description of
what you are seeing, and links to further information.

Question #7:
What do you suggest to folks who can’t afford or don’t have access to a
telescope?
