Hellooooo! I've been wondering about starting a thead on Astronomy, but you beat me to it Whizkid!
And I agree, no astrology! I have never met a tall, dark stranger.....
So, what equipment have you got, have you got a telescope?

I'm still quite a newbie myself at astronomy - but any telescope by Meade should be a good one. I rather fancy one of those Meade ETXs, which are motorised, and have a 'goto' computer that will find stars, galaxies, novae, etc. for you. Either that, or the Celestron Firstscope range looks very good, and cheap.
My telescope, a Helios Explorer 130p cost me about £170, and is a good, cheap starter scope. I haven't gotten to grips with how to use it properly, but that's next on my to do list! Helios (which are also badged as Skywatcher) do some fairly good, cheap scopes.
@axxxr, do you live in London? I imagine it's very light polluted where you live. What are the skies like over in India, @Whizzkid?

Quite good the skies here. I live in a not so big town so not much light diffused in the sky. But for now nothing matters. The sky always remains cloudy. It would be ok by the next month i guess.

I like astronomy. When I have time, I go to observatory, which is 5 km away from my house. I have always fun there.

No, I don't have. The observatory is not very far, as I mentioned and they have old, but very good one. And if it's cloudy, then we watch films in "mini cinema".
