0. Get a decent pair of binoculars. If you have money, get image-stabilized binoculars. Learn your way around the night sky, and learn what's up there during the seasons.
I get more pure astronomical enjoyment from my binoculars than from my telescopes and AP rigs, honest.
- lake99 10y ago> and learn what's up there during the seasons. That's a good point. I haven't used binoculars myself, so I wouldn't know whether to recommend it or not. But generally, when people ask me, I drive them in the direction of learning as much as they can before buying specialized equipment.
